Dialing off the plateau

A brief update from my conversation with the nurse last night. The good news is that dad is off dialysis. His BUN and creatinine levels are still pretty good (29/1.4) and he is producing urine. The bad news is that he seems to have plateaued as far as responsiveness goes. At this point they are taking a wait and see approach with the responsiveness to see if he will wake up o his own and they are inclined to give him as long as a week. Obviously sooner would be better. I've written the VAD coordinator to get a longer view of what is going on and will do another update once I hear from her.
