"I didn't talk much to Edi this afternoon because he was on a 30-min session being off the ventilator when I go there. There were moments when he was in discomfort, eg: arching his chest forward due to some pressure presumably in his lungs, and he looked tired. Perhaps switching from a 15-min session to 30 mins off the ventilator caused such tiredness and hence, distress that his heart rhythm got a bit wonky and they gave him some medication for it. He still has a fever (38.4 deg) due to infection identified in his mucous from the lungs and is on strong antibiotics.
I left at 4'ish having waited an hour and not able to get back in to see him - they were setting up an intravenous line on the left side of his neck and removing the one on the right side. Latter has been set up for 9 days now and it was bleeding this morning. They didn't want an infection and as a precaution, will send the tip of the needle to the lab to check for infection."
