Tuesday, Oct. 23 • Evening Update

At about 4pm, Shug's blood pressure shot back up to 178 on the top number. . . so they had to give him an IV push of meds to bring it back down. He was very disoriented during this time. . . he was not clear with his thoughts and was having some difficulty remembering things. After the meds took effect on his BP, we sat with him all evening and watched some game shows and held his hand. Since he ended up needing that BP medicine through the IV - he obviously did not get to leave the ICU today and we are just waiting to hear what's next. If anything else changes tonight we will let you know, but we will be leaving the hospital at 9p to take mom home for the night. So our next update will most likely be in the morning when we check in at 6am with his nurse. Good night!
