Just got off the phone with Liz:
She spoke with the nurse this morn who said he is doing well in all areas. His blood pressure is back up and stayed up after they took him off the medication to boost it. Fever is gone. White blood count dropped in half. Lactic acid, which had been high, is more normal. Another chest X-ray looked good -- no pneumonia. He was sitting up, alert, watching TV.
He even ate a good lunch (sans teeth, since they forgot his fixodent). Expect to take him off the IV tonight.
Liz took Mom over to see him this afternoon for a short time and Dave and Dor will be visiting again later. Dad was tired of watching TV and wanted to read, which seems to me a good thing.
Tonight they plan to move him to a regular room.
All sounds like an answer to prayer.
