He's Baaaack! Well .... his attitude is anyway. Which I guess is a sign that he's getting better.
Daddy's kidneys are back to what they were when he first came into the hospital for surgery. For some reason he's still on the CPAP machine. Dr. Keeley had told us yesterday that he would be kept on the CPAP for the day yesterday because of the move to PCU, but that he would be taken off again today. As of 12:30 he's still on the CPAP.
Daddy's white count is down to 8.9 today, so hopefully the antibiotics have taken care of the infections. Now if we can just keep him from getting something else. Physical Therapy should start working with him on a regular basis now. Still having some problems getting his sugar regulated. Dr. Chen said he was going to call in an Endocrinologist to start monitoring Daddy's Diabetes.
The medication Dr. Keeley put Daddy on for his headaches has seemed to help. He hasn't complained of a headache yet today, so that's a good sign.
Will update more tomorrow. Again, the family really appreciates all the prayers and support during this time.
