A Puzzling Day...

Robert J did get one physical therapy session today, which had him even more fatigued than he was in the morning. He seems increasingly lethargic and sleepy, to both me and the docs who know him well. He's even disinterested in eating and drinking, so we know he's way out of whack. This evening more blood was drawn to test for a possible intestinal kind of infection, although all his vital signs continue to be stable. I have been pushing him to keep drinking liquids to avoid dehydration, to the point of really annoying him. I considered his reaction a success in itself, since it got him fired up for the first time! We are waiting this evening for a visit from one of the kidney transplant docs who said he'd come by after he was done in the OR, but of course this may not happen tonight. Will hope for more information, especially positive, as we learn more on Friday.
