Chapter 32

• “The reason he’s being restrained is an unfortunate mix of factors. Many nurses have seen him tear up the bed during the nightmares he has while sedated which has started a lot of nasty rumors at his home pack. He’s torn up multiple beds which come out of his budget and he’s hurt himself on several occasions. Most nurses refuse to work with him if he isn’t in a hard leather restraint system tying him to the bed. As he gets better, he gets stronger. Which is why they don’t let him out to eat or use the bathroom as it’s nearly impossible to get him restrained again. He must be in bad shape for him to go to the hospital as he ends up tied down from the time he gets there until about an hour before he leaves.”
• “We need to change what’s normally done during these attacks. The stress of being in the medical wing is enough to keep the cycle going but whatever nightmare he had when I walked in was quite nasty as well. Do we have any of the anti-anxiety medication he’s on in a liquid form so we can get him started back on them? I don’t think he can handle pills right now.”
• “I’ve got his list and Alex is sending what has already been filled to us via FedEx. They should be here in a day or two but I can get our pharmacy to fill what he’s currently on. I will investigate any liquid versions that might be available. Meanwhile, I’m going to double the nebulizer treatment and oxygen levels he gets in the mask but I’m cutting the Valium in half again. There’s no reason to have him at ten milligrams when he’s struggling to process two milligrams out of his body.”
