There have been some complications during the night that have the drs a little concerned, but not alarmed. He still has a fever and seems to have an infection somewhere. His blood volume is also not where it should be. They gave him 2 more units of blood in the night and have added another volumizing drug and a bag of platelets.

When he was brought out of the sedation this morning there was some weakness on his right side that concerned Dr. Yamani. He consulted with one of the people who had been in the OR and asked about the clots that were found. He was thinking that one had possibly moved and had cause a mild stroke. That has thankfully not been the case. It seems that it was just the sedation as he has improved.

They are going to try to extubate him today even though his O2 is still a little low. I think they are wanting to see if that will also help him. He does try to talk to us when he knows we are there and was quite agitated the last time I was in. When he finally quieted his nurse and I decided that he would be left alone unless absolutely necessary on her end and asked that we look but not touch or speak to him if he seemed to be sleeping. He fights against the pain meds when he knows we are there.

I slept very well last night, but exhaustion will do that to you. Only woke once at 2:15 and feel ready to handle anything that comes along. Of course that may only last a couple of hours, but who knows!

This probably won't be updated as frequently today but when something happens, I'll let you know. Keep the good thoughts and prayers coming!
