Archie has been really agitated all day long. He was trying to pull out all of his IVs, messing with his stitches, taking off his gown and trying to get out of bed. After a little while, we figured out this was caused by his pain. So we were trying to stay on top of the pain but it was wearing off before it was time for the next shot. They changes his medication and that seemed to work well but it wasn't changed until 12ish.
Since he was so agitated the doctor got a CT angiogram and he said that one of the vasospasms were worse and another has lessened. The doctor said that he will probably schedule another angiogram to see what is happening up there. Then 1 hour later the nurse received a call that we were going in the the angiogram within 30 minutes.
They did an agioplasty om one of the larger blood vessels to keep it open. They also gave him some medicine to keep the smaller vessels dilated and open. They put him on a ventilator as a preventative measure. We expect him to sleep the rest of the night due to the anesthesia.
Moral of the story - please pray.
