We've got his creatinine down to 0.9, so closer to normal, but he still doesn't feel good.  It's hard to know what's wrong right now, but I think that his belly feels bad for some reason.  He drank one and a half bottles since yesterday, but he has not eaten anything, which is highly unusual for him even after extubation.  His respiratory rates are fluctuating higher too and sometimes in the 50s.  So something is still going on, I'm just not sure what.  I'm going to take a stab in the dark and say we're not going back to TSRHC today.  Which is fine with us.  We want to go back, but not until we are confident we are in the clear from any serious/urgent potential complications.

We'll see what the day brings, but right now, we still need prayers we can sort things out and get him feeling better.
