Seeing the light through the trees

That's what Dr Jimenez said, he's not out of the woods yet but he can see the light through the trees. He's happy with Paul's numbers and is excited that the levophed weaning is going well. He said that when they tell us completely off that, it will be a really good sign.

He confirmed what we'd heard from Dr Senechal, that he'll likely go home on dialysis for a while. I can handle that, we just want to get him up and moving and able to go home.

Not much else is going on. He's had most of his apple juice and a little chicken broth. I had to lay the smack down and suggest that when he wants water (pretty often) that he should try to have
something else with some nutritional value first. He said I was mean, but he's complying.

We did get some bad news, Dr Jimenez will be off the next 5-6 days. I really like him, he takes the time to explain and doesn't hold anything back from me. The good news is that he says his partner is good too and he's our friends' neighbor, so we know where he lives. :)

We're gonna do lunch and wait for the GI doc, then I'll probably go home until tonight.
