Sam is still having a rough time. He is having withdrawls today and not resting very well. He did get some sleep last night. The medicine they are giving him to bring his ammonia levels down makes you poop, so he literally is pooping at least every hour, hard to sleep when you are constantly being changed. The good news in the situation is that from a cardiac stand point he is doing good, and respiratory is slowing getting better. His xray this morning looked better than yesterdays. He is very "dry" but we have to keep his fluid balance at least even, if he gets positive it will make his lungs wet. We are going to check ammonia and sodium levels again this afternoon and make sure we are on the right track.
