Crazy weekend (Hospital Stay Day 11, ICU Day 8)

So we just had the craziest weekend ever. Jagger was literally "crazy" and no one could figure out why.
They tried so many different drugs this weekend, they thought maybe he has Benzo (the sedation he was on while on the ventilator) redraw, so they tried to give him small doses, but it did not help. From Friday 6 pm to Monday 9.30 am, he slept 7 hours, and only 30 minutes at the time max, he was exhausted and kept on moving in very strange ways almost like he was possess, and he lost his eyesight, he does not see anything and his eyes are mostly in the back of his head. So when you get close to him and talk to him he get scared because he can see you coming near him.
Dr. K said he might just need time to get the drugs out of his system and to feel better and said we need to try to get home as soon as possible because he will get better at home. But it seems we will be here for a few more days at least
It was so bad last night, that the fellow on call, decided to give him Cholorhydrate, he said that was the best drug to put kids to sleep and they used it all the time and he will sleep for hours. Well Jagger had some kind of reaction to the drug and his heart beat got elevated and he became all flush, and only slept for 20 minutes, the fellow was speechless, and said he never saw that.
Anyhow, after this crazy weekend, Jagger  fall asleep at 9.30 this morning and slept most of the day, he was so exhausted.
Dr. Ka said they will try to get us back to the regular floor tomorrow because now that Jagger is stable he needs to get out of ICU so he does not get any virus or such.
