Beautiful Morning

It was a beautiful drive in this morning. Colorful sunrise. The kind that Ken would have seen while on his paper route and called me to tell me to go look at it. I sure wish I could have called him to go look at today's.

Overnight, not any significant changes. Ken is now on a sepsis watch. Sepsis was the blood infection that docs were talking about when Ken first was admitted to the hospital. They checked his blood gases every 4 hours overnight and sent in blood tests multiple times. All the short term tests look great. We have to wait for the cultures to grow to be sure. He still has a fever, still has diarrhea, though it is better. They upped his sedation, upped his blood pressure meds, upped his fluids and gave him a blood transfusion this morning. Everyone seems to be concerned. He now has a dedicated nurse again. The nurse yesterday had 2 patients and she was going crazy. Ken needs his own nurse. There are to many things to do with him.

I had wanted to go to work today, but don't think I can leave him till the docs and nurses get some answers and calm down a little more. We'll see how it goes when the docs come and talk to me. Have a good day everyone. God Bless You.
