Mike is still doing well today. He is more tired today than yesterday because he didn't get much sleep last night. He was completely off sedation, so he wasn't able to sleep through all the checks they did on him overnight like he was able to the night of the surgery. (The storms last night didn't help either).
The doctors are happy with all of his numbers and the ultrasound showed that the flow through his liver is still good. There is some fluid developing in his lungs, but this is normal due to inactivity and they are doing breathing treatments on him to try to keep the fluid from developing into pneumonia. They also got him up to sit in the chair for a little over an hour, which is supposed to help, too. The doctors don't seem too concerned at this point about his lungs.
Mike is more alert today and his voice is getting stronger. He's also getting back his sense of humor (and sarcasm). :) We've told him about all the comments people have posted and he nods his head (can't really smile yet) in appreciation.
Thanks so much for continuing to think of him and us.
