Saturday Morning

Even though it was light and sporadic, Steve's cough persisted through out the night. He is tired from lack of sleep. His lung is slightly congested right now. Intravenous fluid input was reduced to see if it would alleviate the situation.
The glucose level is in the 60's despite a higher dose of dextrose. Possible cause is the insulin level in his TPN being too high. A new order with a lower dosage of insulin is being formulated.
At 9:00am, Steve was wheeled to be examined with the CT Scan.
