They actually gave him 3 units of blood today.  He's still on the Cleocin antibiotic, and they are adding Cipro.  His left lung is clearing up.  :) White count is down a little at 12.5, which Dr. said is good.  His fever was up a little after the transfusion, which is normal; it was 102*, so got Tylenol for that.  They have him down to 55% O2 input, and all the numbers look good.  Heart rate 91, peep 16, 96% O2 saturation, respirations 29, bp 98/64. Still completely sedated with Fentanyl and Atavan.  They also have him on Lasix (sp?) to get rid of some of the excess fluid. His CVP (Central Veinous Pressure) was up to 21, so started Lasix to bring that down, and next check it was up to 22!  Started giving more Lasix to try to get that down a little.
