Only 1 post today. He's been very uncomfortable all day. Of course this is to be expected. He's feeling some pain from the incision and he's coughing which makes the pain worse.

His oxygen was cut back but whenever he moves or coughs or eats his O2sat drops. Dr. Alvarez said he's been his easiest patient this week. Dr. Yamani is still concerned with his arm but could not do the ultrasound because the computer system was down. Wonder what they would have done if there wasn't a computer system. Of course there probably wouldn't be ultrasounds either!

He did get the arterial line out today and 1 of the lines in his neck is out. The meds have been cut back too. The chest tubes are still draining a lot so they are still in place.

He sat in his chair for quite a while and slept in it for about an hour or more which was the first he had really rested. The move from the bed to the chair and back seems like a mile long to him so he is still very weak. But, as I've told people, it's day 4 so there's still a long way to go.

All for now, more tomorrow.
