Two days and no real change.  All vitals are good, but we need some over-all improvement.  He was put back on his ventilator for a day, but as of today, he’s back to the on-and-off regiment.   He is still on once a ady dialysis for 3.5 hours, but even so, his blood platelets are not holding where they need to be.  A mstery to all, including his doctors.

There is no way Shahin will be out of ICU by his birthday.  It was wishfull thinking on my part to begin with.  I will happily take end of October at this point.

They have stopped the broad spectrum antibiotics, so the CDIFF is still beig attaked without a chance to multiply agian.

I’m so glad my mom is down there, as no matter how good the nurses are, they still tend to miss things, but mom is on top of things… Like bed sores, pools of blood, etc. that get missed by the nurses.

Shahin was moved to a room with a better view and away from the main enterance to this particular ICU unit.  His new room number is ICU#32. 

Remember, you can send him persoanl messages at http://www.mercyok.net/email/mhc/default.asp.  Just make sure you use the room number above.

Shahin’s daily score, holding at 6.5.
