Today's plan, if there can be a plan in the ICU...

Paul had his dialysis line moved this morning to his neck.  I guess that's the ideal location and with the troubles they had with it yesterday in his thigh, they decided to move it.  He's having a PICC line inserted now so they don't have to keep poking him.  There's a bit if a delay now in getting his dialysis because a broken machine has created a backlog in the hospital.  It will be another few hours before they can even start.

Paul is really tired this morning, but he is resting comfortably whenever they are not poking at him.  His numbers are looking good, his bp and heart rate are close to normal when he's on his bp medicine.  BP drops slightly when it runs out but he reacts well when it's replenished. 

I also noticed a small victory as I was leaving last night - he peed!  It's a small amount, but it's an excellent sign!!  Hooray!
