Update

The Doctor was just in and said Brody is stable.  He is not better and not worse.  She was encouraged that he was not getting worse.  They are re-starting the continuous albuterol neb through his tube.  They will draw blood again at 2:00 to test his blood gas levels.  His potassium was a little low this morning so they are giving him that.  The hope is that being aggresive with the continuous neb will help him turn the corner toward getting better.  At 6:00 they are drawing blood again to check the Vancomycin (antibiotic) level and potassium level in his blood.  Some time between now and then they will continue to decide whether to keep him here or send him down.  It sort of sounds like he will be staying here, at least for the afternoon.
