Improved.

At 28 hours post-op, Bobby once again perked up a bit. His BP is finally staying at 100/70 or above, which is a major improvement for him. His nausea has turned into more of a belly ache versus a vomiting sensation. He has been able to walk a 16th of a mile every two hoursand we're at 33 hours post-op now. His color has returned, and he's been more talkative. He's consumed 23 ounces of liquid in the last 5 hours. Among those are water, grape juice, jello, and yogurt. He had 3 tiny bites of applesauce but it didn't sit well on his stomach. For him, consuming anti-acids every two hours has been helpful. He is burping often but hasn't passed any gas intestinally. He has stopped receiving pain meds by IV, and takes oral liquid form. The most concern the staff has for him currently is that he isn't urinating very often in coronation to how much fluids he's receiving thru IV. Even so, he's much improved and I'm expecting a much smoother night ahead.
