Day 5

Thursday 9/18

Morning
Yesterday was not a good day. They inserted the catheter to do the dialysis. His body did not respond well to the dialysis. His heart rate went crazy after after they finished and I felt like we might lose him. They did get him stabilized and I got to sit with him for 1 1/2 hours. That is the longest time I got to sit with him.
His liver function is not what it needs to be. They will be monitoring his liver everyday now.

Evening
He is still in critical stable condition but today was a better day. He is completely sedated and will stay sedated until they are ready to try to wean him from the ventilator. He had his second dialysis treatment and responded well to the treatment. They removed the catheter from the heart and are only taking the blood pressure on his arm.
