September 23 Update 2

Kirk did get the new central line today. They will culture the femoral line they removed. Otherwise focus has been on temperature control and getting his lungs cleared. He is heavily sedated tonight to allow him to rest and to allow the ventilator to work his lungs more open. He is more acceptable to gentle turning to his left and right to help keep his bed sores from getting worse. Tomorrow we may be able to start more aggressive anti coagulation. But we will see how he is.

Sidney and I had a really nice evening. Homework and chores got done with a minimal amount of disagreement. We went to piano lessons and then had a nice bowl of left over soup for dinner. We took Stormy for a walk and sat outside before endeavoring to start building the Brae Alpha platform out of Legos. She is showing what comes from her dad in this endeavor. She is trying to build from the overall picture. I am an engineer and building from the instructions. With any luck we will meet in the middle.
