Bill sat in his chair again today while I was gone. He was just getting back into bed when I got back. He stayed awake most of the day but got really tired about 5. The only other glitch he had was a surge in blood sugar. It was 251 which is pretty high. He was given 12 units of insulin and they were going to really monitor it tonight. It's not uncommon for one of his immuno-suppressants to cause diabetes, and his dad was diabetic, so it's also not surprising.

I noticed tonight that when he gets tired he just shuts off. He doesn't track or look at anyone and he won't squeeze fingers. His condition is still a mystery. They don't know how much is still from the anesthesia and how much is stroke related. I also noticed that his right arm is getting very thin compared to his left arm. He's still moving both of them and he reached his nose today and then tried to pull his gown up further on his chest.

They are not going to connect him to the vent tonight. Phillip wants to see how he does on just the oxygen. Of course the machine will be in the room should he have a problem, but only as a precaution.

All for tonight. I'm getting really tired so it's time to turn in. Goodnight!
