He had a rough night last with minimal sleep. They gave him a big dose of Lasix after we left so he was up all night peeing off fluid. They said he put out 3 liters! So he's exhausted and crabby today.
He's getting lots of oral meds to control blood pressure, etc. They did turn off the Nipride so yay for that. That had to go before he can exit the ICU. They turned done the milrinone again so they are trying to get rid of that. There's a small possibility he could get moved out of ICU tonight but the nurse said don't bank on it. His blood sugars continue to improve so getting less and less insulin. He's still not therapeutic on his tacrolimus but the plasmaphoresis may be filtering out some of the meds along with his fast metabolism of it. Still have the goal of discharge by the 15th. We shall see.
I had a really rough day yesterday. Going to the office was a bad idea. By last night, I was exhausted, anxious, and stressed. Definitely flaring. I'm so appreciative of all the help and support from everyone!
