This morning I went in early and found Wren very lethargic. The nurse and I deduced that he was over-sedated. He had a few doses of something called "chloryll" overnight to keep him sleepy and then an added single dose of morphine when he needed lots of dressings changed.
Overnight he didn't get rid of as much fluid as they hoped so today the goal is to continue to diuress and to improve the quality of his breathing. They also want to improve his hemocrit (down to a nasty 25 from 32 a couple of days ago) and to check out a distension in his tummy which is probably gas.
They are also hoping he stops struggling with his breathing.
I left him settled and receiving platelets.
