May 23, 2009

Mark is holding steady. They had to start him back on the blood pressure med last night. They had tried to give him some sedation prior to doing his wound care, and that caused his blood pressure to drop. They restarted his blood pressure med and brought it back up right away, but he is still on it this afternoon. Temperature, heart rate, and kidney function all remain stable as well.
They did start him on the new antibiotic last night. He was receiving his second dose during our visit this morning. Hopefully we will have good news in the next day or so about it's effect on the infection. KEEP FIGHTIN' IT MARK!
