Monday Morning - January 21, 2013 - Update #1

6:00 am I stayed in the room again, last night, with the patient. Matt had a pretty good night. He was still woken up every two hours and had to be poked 3 or 4 times throughout the night for blood. He's getting to the point now where when they say thank you, he grunts like a bear. They are still watching his sodium levels and he is currently in ICU but we have been told by the doctors, not nurses, that he will be moved to a regular room today. The doctors have ordered the nurses to slow down his IV fluids and possibly stop them because of how much he is out putting; which is too much at this point. The docs also said that his bandages will come off today. Overall, he is doing much better than he did yesterday. His pain has subsided where he can comfortably be in the hospital bed. I can only expect it to get better from here.
