Day two on proton inhibitor drip

David is on day 2 (out of 72 hours) on the Protinix drip.  His hemoglobin seems to be somewhat stable, but remains low at around 9 grams of hemoglobin per deciliter of blood.  It will take a few weeks to build back up.  If the hemoglobin drops that it means he is bleeding again and that they will need to go back in with the scope and cauterize the bleed.  They say that the risk of re-bleeding is highest in the first 72 hours.  I don't know when he can get out of here and have a list of questions for the doctor since I will be teaching tomorrow and Jeff is heading back home to OK.  David has his Kindle Fire, his mini-iPad and his iPhone and all the Chargers associated with those in addition to a hospital phone and the TV control cords.  His beds get tangled up with cords but nothing runs out of power;}. It is nice to post an uneventful day and I am hopeful that he will be home soon, then back on his feet and feeling good.  The only pain he's experienced has been from the frequent blood draws and IV lines.  His arms are a black and blue mess.
