It's foggy and smoky this morning. The drive to the hospital was not real fun. It's hard to believe there is still a fire problem with all of the rain we've had this week.
Bill apparently had a peaceful night. His nurse said he got some good rest. But, I think he was awake a lot again because he just wants to sleep this morning. He's moving his arms and legs a lot and raised his head some. He's shifting like he wants to be turned but can't figure out how to do it yet.
The lung team is going to have the vent tubes disconnected and just attach regular O2 to the trach. They said that his chest xray this morning looked really good. That should make him feel somewhat better to get that all taken away.
Dr. Yip said the biopsy results won't be back until late this afternoon, but the biopsy well very well. He did say there's a lot of scarring, but since they had to go through the groin that's not surprising. He's had so many heart caths there has to be a lot of scarring. Maybe the next biopsy can be done through his neck like they usually do. He said that the problem with the blood pressure looks like he should be dehydrated, but when they checked his fluid levels, he's actually over hydrated. So it's just a matter of evening him out. He's not as concerned with the blood pressure as Dr. Hosenpud was yesterday. They may also get some of his staples out today if the sites look healed enough.
So, things will happen today, but things will also stay the same. Hopefully we can get him to wake up some more and start following commands again.
