Not much to update for the last two days. Nate is still in the ICU. It seems he's found a new holding pattern. His vital signs and lab tests indicate that his body is relaxing, so the doctors seem pleased, but Nate isn't feeling much progress. He's still unable to drink or eat anything, and the ice chips have certainly worn out their welcome.
His white blood count is down from 38, to 36, and today to 28, so that's good news. We're waiting for his stomach to start draining on its own so he can get rid of his NG tube. At that point, he'll be able to start drinking some clear liquids.
Hoping for some good progress soon.
Action...no matter how difficult...Is probably easier than waiting. Maybe he would like a nice foot rub. I hope he gets to eat soon and that all his innards will respond correctly. Hugs!!!
