Kaleb

* Received his blood products (since they have to take blood out for test every 3-6 hours they need to replace what they took)

* They are working with Kaleb to get him off the oscillating ventilator  and switch him to a regular ventilator like Nathan is on.

Only two more steps before they try switching him!!

* His day nurses felt that he was uncomfortable due to the oscillating ventilator so they increased his morphine a tad.

* Kaleb has some swelling on the back of his head from laying flat on his back. He won’t let the nurses move him just yet.
