Hello from Denver, once again! Some good news for you all: Dad seems to have re-stabilized. His blood pressure is back up to 106/69. His heart rate is back down to 80ish, down from 110 last night. His hematocrit numbers are back up to 33 -- normal for Dad would be about 40, and last night it was around 20, so he's getting there. His temperature is at 100, down from 103 last night. So, he's nowhere near perfect and certainly not out of the woods yet, but definitely better. We'd like to ask for prayers that things continue in this trend toward stabilization & healing.
Dad's legs are quite swollen, which apparently is common for patients who've been on their back so long, but can't be comfortable. They've taken him off the anti-seizure drug, which is a little scary to us but they thought that might be causing the rash.
We'll be at the hospital most of tomorrow, but if Dad continues to appear stable then I think other visitors would be fine too. :)
