Sunday Update #2

I was in the room with the nurses as they were trying to take blood. He is getting pretty tired of being poked at because they can't seem to find good veins in him. They used a warming blanket to warm his arm to help. They gave him another round of meds because he threw up his first round. He decided to have his catheter removed in hopes that he could start walking more and they would see that and send him home earlier. They don't want to send him home too early because of the drive and we can't return to the hospital quickly in an emergency. While they have a transfer in to move him to a regular room, they are not in too much of a hurry because he is still on the DI watch with his urine. If he had been moved to a regular room yesterday, they would have put him back in ICU because of this. It's not monitored as much on the regular floor. They said that when he does get moved to a regular room, they like to watch them for at least 24 hours before they are discharged. With that being said, if he was moved later today, they watch him tomorrow, and he could be discharged sometime Tuesday, but the nurse said that would only happen if everything was stellar. It's still a waiting game!! He is being a rock star for everything he has been through.
