Around 3 am, the breathing insert they are using to supplement Mom's oxygen fell out. Her oxygen levels fell to 85%. The nurse quickly put insert back in. We were hoping that her oxygen % would be higher when breathing on her own. Hopefully, this will improve soon.
At 4am, her heart rate jumped from 93 to 150. They gave her medicine to relax, but the heart rate would not go down. This is a huge concern, as none of the doctors or nurses know why her heart rate is so high. Some suggested she could be becoming more aware of her current situation.
When we left the ICU to give the nurses time for their shift change, her heart rate was still high. I will let you know if it goes down soon.
