Dr. Breaux looked at Papa's surgical wound and says it is looking good. He removed a few of the sutures and replaced the wound vac with a fresh one. He also is talking about removing one of his drains....(he has about 7, not including the wound vac). He did a little bit of p.t. in bed, then they did get him up for a little while and he sat in a chair for a few short minutes, but even this short time up seemed to help his blood pressure rise a little.
Papa had dialysis yesterday around 4 until about 8 last night and will probably have it again today. They were unable to finish because his catheter continued to clot. He received one unit of blood and today they will try to give him the other unit he was supposed to get, but didn't because of the clotting. They are giving him meds for the clotting issue. He will have another rough day today I am afraid. We request no visitors today and tomorrow so that Papa will be able to rest as much as possible. Thank you for understanding.
