So last night Greyson confirmed that he in fact does not want his dad to get any sleep.\u00a0 It started like a normal night until our nurse showed up and told us she was not feeling well.\u00a0 She was willing to still work and wear a mask, but we don’t want to take any chances so Stacy and I were going to have to pull the night shift.\u00a0 Well while Greyson and Stacy slept it was incredibly peaceful.\u00a0 Greyson slept soundly, Stacy slept, the machines were silent (OK so the machines are never “silent” but they were not alarming) all was right in the world.\u00a0 So at around 2:20am I woke Stacy up so I could go to sleep and she could watch Greyson.\u00a0 She woke up, I laid down, and suddenly……………..BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP!!!!!!\u00a0 Stacy worked hard to try to silence the vent (which only makes it quite for a minute).\u00a0 She tried to reposition Greyson, she tried to reposition the vent tubing.\u00a0 She tried everything but as soon as the minute was up, BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP!!!\u00a0 Now keep in mind Greyson is fine through this.\u00a0 He is sleeping fairly soundly (I guess all the alarms in the hospital have caused him to be somewhat immune to the alarms).\u00a0 The problem was most of the ventilator breath was going out his nose and mouth as he exhaled.\u00a0 While this isn’t so bad it means the vent can’t read how much he’s exhaling, so it alarms.\u00a0 OK so after over a half an hour trying everything we could think of to make the vent be quiet, Stacy told me I should go to the spare room so\u00a0I could get some sleep and she would just keep working with the vent.\u00a0 So I went into the spare room and laid down and wouldn’t you know it?\u00a0 Quiet.\u00a0 Not just the quiet of being in another room as the ventilator alarms, quiet as in, there were no more alarms.\u00a0 Yep as soon as I went into the other room, the vent stopped alarming and maybe went off once the rest of the night.\u00a0 This has happened one other time where he stopped alarming after I went into the other room.\u00a0 I guess he just gets bothered knowing I’m in the same room with him, but I’m just sleeping.\u00a0 Oh well, no nurse again tonight so we’ll see what happens.\u00a0 I’ll tell you,\u00a0strange things happen in the Westfall house around 3am!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
