Potassium is looking good. It was 7 last night, dropped to 6 after last night's dialysis, and is now 5.1 after today's dialysis. Normal is 3.5 - 5, so he's right on track. Hooray!!!
His creatinine levels are still at 4. Normal is 0.7 - 1.2. I *think* that they can get that number down with dialysis also but are focusing on getting the K down first. I'll confirm that with the doc in the morning.
I'm thinking I'll head home soon, Paul is doing really well, pain is under control and his heart rate and bp are looking ok. And Caitlin is watching him again tonight and she's great so I feel fine leaving him in her hands. :)

If you need to get Paul's BP up, tell him I need his help to get some circuit emulation working! Glad to hear he's doing a little better.
