End of Day Report: Not as good, still in ICU

Just returning from visiting Dad.  Tracy was up there most of the afternoon, and Mom and I went up for the evening.  Dad's just not looking very good.  He's very, very sleepy.  He's not always following commands that have to do with his left side.  His left leg is VERY swollen.  Blood pressure is down a bit; pulse is very high (for him) at 75; and he's just not wanting to eat.   He's also got me concerned on his output of fluids as well as that's significantly changed since I saw him Friday.

The plan is still to get him out to the floor tomorrow, but not sure what's going on.  Lots of little things are adding up to not so good.  He's got us concerned again.  He was up in the chair for six hours today, which would make him very sleepy.  But a few other things going on wouldn't be impacted by being tired.

Keep thinking positively.
