There has been no sign of the infectious disease all day. Shift change has come and gone and we are still here. The night nurse said this doctor usually makes rounds at night. Seems to me that would be ok for your own patients but when another dr asks you to see a patient that he says can be discharged from his care, the consulting would make the effort to accommadate both the dr and the patient.

Bill is doing well. His bp was up to 99/52 at last check. It should be checked in just a little while. He's been moved up from clear liquids to full liquids, meaning cream soups and milk, puddings and ice cream. He may start getting some Ensure to give him some extra protein until he can bite on his gums.

He's looking better today, more like himself instead of someone sick. He's still getting winded when he moves around. Going to the bathroom wears him out. I'm beginning to think he needs to be on O2 most of the time now until he gets fixed.

So, here we sit watching tv. Both of us are wanting to get out of here. I know Bill's ready to be unhooked from all of the equipment and move on to the next phase. I'll let you know when we know!
