A delay in routing---

   Tom is a little grouchy today. Hmmm. Maybe more energy to feel that way. The docs were thinking seriously about releasing him, but thought of more to check out before they do. They found the labs to be seriously lower (yes!) and the flow still mirroring the input. He has a bad uremic frost because of toxicity over the last 15 days...it's the body's way of ridding itself of poison and it's dang itchy, so we wipe him down with aloe wipes and he has vetoed the benadryl they gave him yesterday. Wade the nurse is watching the flow from the JP drain in the lower abdomen and comparing the outflow from the Foley cath to see if it will help the healing process on the urethra.  We are doing a dance again, called cause and effect. He'll be here tomorrow I guess.  Ruth Ann
