I think Troy had a rough morning. His mom said that he was bleeding a lot out of his chest-port-catheter-IV-hookup-thing. This was due to blood thinners (to keep blood clots down)...so, they stopped the blood thinners and gave him some platelets. He also had to have an impromptu dialysis session this morning because of some extra fluid in his feet. Regardless, this all seemed to have helped. He was much more comfortable this evening than last.
He also walked some more today and began a few PT exercises for his legs. Given all this activity, he was still able to increase his "output" (of, well...you know) from 20 ccs yesterday to 25ccs today! AND....his plasma count is remaining "low" in the 2300 range (down from 9000 if you remember)!
So, I would have to say that today was a good day overall. Unfortunately, I think I did jinx the discharge date - they want to keep him in the hospital for a while until all his functions are better.
Sleep well,
Todd
