Since the 6pm visit, things are still looking promising. His heart beat is a bit fast and the sinus signature is not where it needs to be...however, the doctors are not too concerned as he is adjusting to the new machines. Nurse stated that while he is on a dialysis machine, his kidney function as measured by urine output is the same as a "normal" patient. Since he has more fluid than normal, he needs dialysis. So the kidneys are working, just not as hard as needed. But it's still a good sign. Blood pressure is steadily rising to where it needs to be since the machine change...it's about 110/58 currently.
Prognosis? Still in critical condition, and watching the organs for damage and function. They are stating that it may be 2 days before trying to bring him out of sedation, but a nurse said they may attempt on Thanksgiving morning.
Prayers still the same: Continued improvement, every day. Organs to function, and full restoration of neurological capacities.
Thank you to EVERYONE who has visited, called, emailed, and prayed. Mom has really been bouyed by the love and care of everyone visiting and calling.
