The past couple of days have been good overall for Mark. After having a bit of a rough day on Sunday, he is back to responding and trying to communicate. On Saturday night/Sunday morning, his temperature had dropped to 35.4 C (95.7 F) and he was placed under the heat lamps again. Also he wasn't as responsive as he had been. His blood pressure was, and continues to be a challenge to keep under control.
It appears that in spite of the "big gun" antibiotics he has been on, there is a new infection. Also, because of the amount of time he has been on the strong antibiotics already, his kidneys are starting to be affected. The course of antibiotics must continue, with the possibility of dialysis if the need arises.
So far, the skin that was grafted onto his leg on Friday appears to be doing well. All is still on track for the placement of the cloned skin next Wednesday, May 20. That's the big day!!!
