Updates on Lee - Tuesday, April 26 - 2300

Many apologies for the timing.

Very long day, lots of SOSDD from all parties involved.

Today, Lee was pretty much working the slow, but sure plan.

Had the dialysis, a little stressful, and still a little groggy.

His White blood cell count is still a bit high, so as they investigate, they scratch their heads. More samples are taken to see if there is an underlying infection somewhere.

PT came by to do some work.

Lips are still getting the coconut oil....Nanette is doing her part to build the muscles she can reach, so holds the sponge tip and plays tug of war with Lee's embouchure.

MRI done at 2000. Results should arrive in the morning. Expecting to see a clear view of Scully and Mulder.

Lee is still very weak, and it will take time to gain his strength back. Technically, he started of from rock bottom on Monday, April 4, 2016. All that has taken place since then is all progress.

Here are his numbers at 2200:
Lee is resting comfortably.
HR still bouncing around but nor as high as yesterday.
BP 110/51  MAP 72
Ventilator Input O2 = 35% (moved down 5% today)
PEEP still at 5%
SpO2 = 98%

We are still learning a lot.

More later, as news becomes available.
