Not much to update this morning. Pretty restless night because he's getting used to the drugs he's on to sleep. Every time them move him around, his temperature spikes, his breathing gets erratic and then they have to clear out his chest tube. If he lays on his back for a long time, he's comfortable and his temperature stays low. As soon as they move him, the temp goes up. They have to move him to do many things: change his bedding, to keep him off his back so the blood can flow there, moving him from site to side. If he moves on his own, which he does regularly, he's fine, but if they move him, he doesn't do too well.

File that in the unexplained drawer, right along with everything else that's going on.
