As you may understand, Dad still has some tubes in him. There must've been some miscommunication that lead us all to believe they had removed all the tubes--unfortunately, this is not the case. He currently has 3 tubes: one in his chest and 2 in his abdomen. They did remove his catheter on Sunday.
Dad has been nauseous from time to time, and they suspect it has something to do with the amount of TPN they administer to his digestive system. Today, though his nausea is better.
His Potassium and Sodium levels are normal. Phosphate is 2.3 low (normal is 2.5). His hemoglobin was 8.1 on Saturday, but is now 9.1 (so that's better).
His Createnine is .07 (his normal has been 1.2).
As you all know, he has moved from the ICU to a special care unit, and private room (still 6109). The nurses are treating him quite well, and Dad is in better spirits each day.
