Matthew was able to get a little more rest last night. He was up 3 different times with a lot of pain but that's an improvement over his day yesterday. They're scheduling a renal ultrasound for today to rule out any problems with renal arteries. His blood pressure is unusually high and they want to rule out the renal arteries as a potential source of the problems. We probably won't have the results until Monday.
We forgot to mention that Matthew did get his drainage tubes and foley out yesterday. He still has pacing wires in his heart, an arterial line and multiple IV's.
He is eating very well when he's not in too much so that is at least one less thing to worry about.
As you can see Matthew hates his oxygen cannula. He wrestles with it until he pulls it out and then falls asleep. They switched to a low flow cannula but it hasn't helped.

so glad to hear and see that Matthew is coming along so well. I love the the pics and the slide show.
