So much for sleeping in! Tom called at 5 this morning. He really wanted me to come to the hospital. I tried to postpone the visit but felt bad and went to see him it's so hard to tell him no! At least I got about 5 consecutive hours of sleep so that's better than anything I got this past week. He is doing a little bit better. His ammonia level is down to 114 but he is still struggling with the cobwebs.
He was hungry so I brought him some fruit and ordered his breakfast and lunch. He is still really struggling with his vision - specifically close up. He has his glasses but he can't seem to focus on anything right in front of him.
Dr. Forte is on call and has come by. I like him but he tends to want to get in and get out. There is not really anything different for them to do. I mentioned Tom's hematocrit, which is now 25.8 but I doubt they will do anything unless it drops below 25. So, we will just hang out here and see what Dr. Rutland says on Monday. Hopefully Tom can be seen by an orthopedic specialist about his back then too.
Praying Tom's ammonia level continues to fall - quickly!!
