Good morning
John was moved out of the icu yesterday evening around 7:00. He had an ok night. His stomach was uncomfortable and he slept ok. The did an ultrasound of his abdomen this morning to make sure everything looked good. All appears to be fine. He is holding extra fluids in his tissue that is not getting to his blood stream because his albumin is low, thus he has gained water weight. They will target for 2 liters of oral fluid today instead of 3. His albumin will rise In time as the liver continues to work, thus pulling the fluids into his vascular to be removed by the kidney. His creatinine level is 2.6 the same as yesterday which is good, (not rising) but it will eventually drop lower as his body stops fighting the kidney. He is going to have plasmapheresis again today. He is feeling a little lethargic today but we will see what the day brings. Thank you for all your love, prayers and kind comments. It is all much appreciated.
