Day 2 at home

Today was spent pretty much in bed.  My temp was up and down, with the up being just at 100.3 (100.4 is the fever cutoff so it looks like I avoided that today).  The redness has also gone down, which is good.  I definitely miss Matthew, so we shall see how I feel tomorrow.  These pics were taken by Sean.  His hair is definitely getting lighter.....

The Good

Today was a stable day for Matthew.  His vent settings were good, and his oxygen was pretty low today.  He also tolerated his food pretty well and we hope that continues.  His nurse tonight (Cassie, his primary night nurse) said he gained an ounce, which is great given that with the Lasik they thought for sure he would be down again.



The Bad

Matthew is still on the vent, so that's the biggest Bad right now...They will be starting him on daily diuretics (something gentler than Lasik) so that's both a good (hopefully in terms of its effects) and a bad.  Matthew also had to get another blood transfusion today.


The Ugly

No Ugly today for Matthew - fingers crossed it stays that way.
