Extubated

With M now. Though he is sleeping, he is not on vent. He is breathing on his own with 3 liters. His potassium is coming down as well as creatinine is trending down too, today 2.3 approximately. Potassium is now like 5.6 I think he said. He is shedding about 75 mls Of fluid an hour, which is good, for swelling. He briefly woke up, and asked what happened but then immediately fell asleep again. I am so happy he is off the vent!
