Late Update

Roscoe's day started somewhat rocky as I walked in and he was having a desaturation due to having an arterial IV's dressing changed and having a new IV put into his other hand. If memory serves me correctly, since his trach tube surgery a little less than 3 weeks ago, he's had:

Head: 2 IVs, 1 PICC attempt

Right Arm: 2 IVs, 1 PICC

Left Arm: 2 IVs

Right Leg: 2 IVs, 2 PICC attempts

Left Leg: 1 IV, 1 PICC attempt

Feet: Too many pin pricks to count

After Roscoe settled down, they attempted to put in another PICC line but the attempt failed. While they attempted the PICC line, I went out walking around the nearby Haight-Ashbury area:

After I got back he was sleeping (due to heavy sedation during the procedure). He slept for a good part of the day, then woke up and had a good remainder of the day as well. He even threw in some smiles for good measure.

Roscoe is still at 100% oxygen (no nitric oxide) until he stabilizes a little more and they're able to wean him off of the breathing support. I'll post an update tomorrow about the plan for his future. It looks like the important doctors' meeting will occur on Tuesday, after which his fate will be agreed upon (including us in the decision-making).
