Kade is getting the rest he needs now. In order to do so the Doctors have decided to put him back on some of the medications. We were all hoping that he would be able to go without them and be able to get by on just the methadone treatment. Methadone is used for treatment of narcotic withdrawal and dependence. He fought a good fight, but Kade is in the drivers seat and his body is just not ready to go without them. They plan to maybe try to slowly wean him down in 12 hours or so at a very slow pace. He continues to need breathing treatments which take a lot of strength out of him.
Kade will be getting a new IV-Line in sometime today. The nurses are starting to have issues with getting good blood samples. The new line gets inserted into the old line and then when it in place in the artery the old one is removed. We were hoping to avoid this by getting the PIC-Line early this week but his veins are to small and to deep to try. Today was a step back, but not totally uncommon from the sounds of things. Were praying that he finds the strength to fight through the next round.
