David was moved into a step-down unit first thing this morning after an agitated but otherwise uneventful night. He is now in Room 979A on the neuro floor. This is a wonderful piece of the path to his recovery, but he remains in critical condition. He still cannot have anything to eat or drink. And as he still has congestion, only the immediate family is allowed to visit him at this time.
A transesophageal echocardiogram is scheduled for 1pm today in order to check for blood clots in David's heart. The carotid arteries have already been checked and found clear of clots. He has developed some heart arrhythmias because of the low-grade fever he had, and while that is fairly typical, it isn't something the medical team likes to see and is being monitered closely. Physical therapy is coming to evaluate him today.
