Good morning all, here is the update for yesterday and last night.
Rob had a few more visitors yesterday (my shift) and visitors are always uplifting. He is still fighting with the fever it is up and down, but his lungs are sounding better every day. He still has the IV antibiotics and is back on an IV drip of normal saline. We have him on a written schedule (his job to keep us on track), for his arm and leg exercises, his lung exercises, and his rotation from left to right sides.
His Dr said that all is looking good, and that they are watching his intake of water because his sodium levels are low. We cut him back on water some but it may not be enough, next round of tests will let us know, probably in tomorrows post.
Rob did sit in the PT chair again today for about 30 minutes, and then back to bed. He did get to move to a larger room and they have ordered a bigger bed (he is a big boy). Donna spent the night with him and it was long night not much sleep, lots of comfort challenges, fever down to good levels.
Until tomorrow.
