Day 234 January 24, 2010

Sunday-Well, today was a quiet one. His levels are all still out of whack but things are settling down, slowly but surely. He needed a few more bags of hydration with potassium during the night. There is nothing growing from the cultures which is good. The doctor on service said it could be a virus. He also said his white count was very high which could signify an infection or the fact that he was in shock. I think things are settling in my mind and I realize how scary this really was. His feeding tube was leaking during the night and actually was burning him. The gastric juices are potent. The surgeon came and adjusted the balloon inside and that seems to be working. He is nibbling on food and his spirits seem a little better.

We watched the first football game today, sorry about the Jets. We could not watch the 2nd game but saw the highlights. I made the night pass faster. We are looking forward to a quiet night.
