His triglycerides are very high (in the 1000s)so they are giving him something to bring that down. Temp 101ยบ
Red blood cell count is back down to 7 something, but could be due to dilution from all the fluids he's getting.  
Heart rate 111 
peep 14 
O2 level 94 (O2 input is down to 50% which is better)
resp rate 26 
bp 128/ 77 

9:30 am: He spent the night OK.  Kidneys are still doing fine.  He is still on very high levels of phentenol (sp?) and adavan (sp?).  If not, his heart rate and blood pressure go way up.  They are getting quite a bit of mucous out of his lungs, having to suction the breathing tube more often, which is a good thing.
