8:00 p.m. Looks like a new man sitting in the chair munching tentatively on some pita chips. He woke from a four hour nap, finished four bags of IV fluids today, and his stomach feels like it might be emptying. I think the Doctor was right. Clem was overdosed on imodium.
After this type of surgery the Doctor attempts to regulate the balance of in and out. The use of Imodium is pretty standard in that treatment. Obviously Clem needs a less aggressive dosage. The tpn treatment is still going to happen for a day or two because as my posts have shown a little progress can turn around fast either way. We both have a good feeling that we are on the right track now though and are again hopeful that we might make it home in a few more days.
