Monday afternoon report finally:
Melanie was very informative this afternoon. She said Aunt Edna was there all day. The take downs on the arms showed good pink adhering grafts with good granulation showing. There was no takedown on the scalp yet. In a couple of days it will happen. His shoulders have biograin (a fine mesh dressing) on them so you can't really see what is going on there. His left foot looks like the skin of a baby foot and there is one small spot on the right that they are watching. It is a little open where there was a second degree burn.

Michael's vent settings are still good. He's been on 40% for over 24 hours and if it keeps going they will try something different (a T piece) ---type of trach tube. His BUN and Creatinine are still elevated but he is adequately filtering (that means producing urine) so they don't have to put him on dialysis.

He has been a little more awake. Following commands and trying to form words. They are trying to wean him to oral pain meds.(oxycodone) There is a small area on his face/forehead that they may graft on what day?(there was an ambulance rolling in at my work...sorry I missed what day....maybe Thursday???)

He is going to get antibiotics for about two more days.

and so the afternoon report is done. It is not quite midnight here but I wish you all safe and sweet dreams.
More later,
and so we go
