Monday was a quiet day for Karl. He was once again in recovery mode. His body was coming down from the shock of another serious procedure and the ICU doctors wanted to be very conservative. They decided to wait a bit longer before taking the tube out and had goals to get Karl's oxygen levels higher. There was not doubt that he could breath on his own, but they wanted to make sure he could get enough oxygen to the body.
Karl was sedated most of the day so he wouldn't get agitated by the breathing tube, occasionally coming off sedation to check responses. The good news was that his oxygen levels were improving.
We received an update around 9pm from Dad's nurse that he was still doing pretty well and they were hopefully for a good day Tuesday. Rest well Karl!
