I just got the results and his sodium and glucose are both low (not to dangerous levels). He's on an IV with sodium so that should recover nicely on its own. We have been giving him water and we need to advance to his formula to get the glucose moving. From what they tell me in PICU most patients would be on D5 or D10 at this point (IV solution with sugar) but that is not the procedure with neurosurgery patients. I'll have to remember to ask why when I see a resident tomorrow.
While they were trying to pull blood Tyler and I had a nice chat about how he wants to see his kitty "Meow Meow" and doggy "woof woof" and sister (He hasen't decided on a noise for her yet;-).
Hopefully that's it for tonight.

Ben, when you and Tyler are fishing some day when he's 14 (do you like to fish?) and you're telling him these stories, he's going to think you're pretty amazing. If you remember to use some carefully-selected expletives to describe exactly how long these nights are and how long that damn highway between Nashua and Dartmouth is over and over again, he'll think you're pretty cool. Of course, by that time cool won't be the word. It probably isn't now.
Anyway, I love you guys. You're awesome and he's lucky to have you.
Ben Fishing?? That would be Tyler bringing him to the Hospital.
