As you can see Josh has gained some weight, a lot of which is fluid. They gave him lasix yesterday to get rid of some of the fluid but today his potassium was low (diuretics can deplete your electrolytes), so they are giving him some extra potassium before they give him any more lasix. The urine catheter was removed last night, and they are weaning him down on the morphine and he seems to be tolerating it well. They lowered some of his vent settings again today. Dr. McKee wants to do the contrast study tomorrow or Monday. Every day is a day closer. He is still very sleepy due to the pain killers, but that should get better in the next few days. Lot of love to you all!
