BJ had a relatively restful night. He wakes (to a groggy state) more frequently as his body has grown used to the sedatives. They have introduced new drugs to help him rest.

Staff believe the bleeding at his left leg tube has clotted. He continues to bleed internally and from his neck tube. The Heprin has not been turned back on to try to allow the other areas to clot. Please pray that the Ecmo pump doesn't bog down with "thicker" blood, and that he stops bleeding.

No word yet on the infection, and whether it had been eliminated...keep lifting that up, please, as that is a potentially very serious issue. He won't have another chest x-ray until tomorrow, but looking at the last one alongside his worst ones, shows a little improvement.

In my experiences, a grumpy hospital patient equates to a healing hospital patient. This morning when I went into his room and touched his arm, he began to show signs of uncomfortableness and agitation. I'm choosing to look at this as a positive sign...I know I'd be grumpy and agitated if I was hooked up to all the paraphanalia he is...as a matter of fact, I AM a little grumpy and agitated that he is hooked up to all that stuff!

Please continue fighting the battle...and may He be glorified through this.
