The Journey of James Weston

Friday, May 7th, 2021 Last night was decent. He had a good run of sleep from midnight to 4:00am. 😴 Then he had back-to-back BPD episodes from about 4:00am to 6:30am. 😮 Same great nurse and intern today as yesterday. It was nice to have the continuity of care! Today was the last day of antibiotics for his UTI. He only had one more dose to go at 3pm!! 💉 Unfortunately his scalp IV became loose sand be fell out (it was already superficial). They needed to get another IV! Four IVs for a 7-day antibiotic! This time the intern managed to get an IV into his left foot on her second attempt after trying his hand. Finally his last dose of antibiotics was administred at 3pm. But this UTI isn't over... The urine culture that had been brewing for the past 48 hours kinda came back with a new type of bacteria in the urine. 🦠🧫 🤷‍♀️ It's a version of staph, probably from all of the urine catheters that have been tried. So we have 2 options... Option A) Doing another urine cath to make sure...
