This is definitely not one of the better days. Though his platelets have come up a little so has his white count. Infection seems to be back in force. They started him on Vancomycin (the big gun antibiotic). His kidneys are not functioning and his blood pressure has dropped. They are going to give him something to bring up the blood pressure but can't give him fluids since his kidneys are not working right. His blood gas results have been good until today and now show some acidity (another one of those things I don't fully understand). They said he is retaining some carbon dioxide which accounts for his mental state and not opening his eyes or responding.
Keep us in your prayers as I know you have been doing constantly.
