After the bathroom episode there was some concern that Jon may still be bleeding internally. He continues to have bright red blood in his stool but it could be the residuals that were in his digestive system prior to the repair. The docs are awaiting his next bowel movement and if blood remains they are going back in with the endoscope. He is thoroughly not impressed because they promised him clear liquids at noon and the poor guy hasn't had anything significant to drink in days. I am able to give him some ice chips and sneak him a little Sprite from time to time. If everything is clear on the next old Number Two they will let him start on liquids and progress to soft foods. He also had an episode of chills and high blood pressure last night. They drew more blood cultures and started him on prophylactic antibiotics. His blood pressure is better today so that might just have been a result of the fluid building up in his bladder before he used the bathroom.

He is still very weak and sleepy. He is taking minimal pain meds so he's not as dopey as yesterday. I asked him if he felt and better at all and he said no. Even if they have stopped the bleeding I would imagine it will take him a while to gain his strength back. I've lost count of how many bags of blood he's received but it has got to be around 15 by now.

The current plan is to watch for bleeding, continue antibiotics and blood transfusions. If he gets worse they will do an endoscope and angiogram to find and fix any other bleeds. If he gets better we're going to meet with Dr. Gosswami about the Y90. Either way, we will be here for a while.
