Set Back

Dennis was moved to the cardiac unit yesterday afternoon but returned to the ICU 6 hours later. He started to atrial fib. and had problems with his oxygenation. He was having difficulty breathing and needed more assistance than the ward could offer. Although he is breathing easier now, he is being supported through a bi-pap machine. His oxygen stats are better and he continues to work on his deep breathing and coughing. His chest infection continues and he remains on isolation.

He is having further difficulties with his right leg and he is loosing sensation in his right foot. He is unable to walk. Many physician's are involved in trying to diagnosis the issues with his right leg.
