There was some good news today. They will be transferring Joe to a regular monitored floor and they have started physical/occupational therapy with him, since he is as weak as a kitten. He did develop another infection (MRSA), but I don't think it is as problematic as the Klebsiella. So he's on a couple of antibiotics and is under contact precautions.
His doctor still says that his vitals are looking stable, but he is weak and malnourished from not being able to eat. The nasal feeding tube is going well, and his dialysis is also. His blood pressure has done really well during dialysis. I don't think that was expected.
They are even talking about discontinuing the oxygen.
Still going to be a very long haul.
