I talked to Teesa a little over an hour ago, and received some of the tid-bits of the day. It's been a very tiring day for the Klears, but they are persevering. As you know, Sam received a shock last night from his device when he went into VTAC. They discovered today that his heart actually had a few episodes (around 4 if I remember correctly) where the device "paced" him out of it, rather than shocking him. This is good.
Sam also sat up today and took a few slow steps. It's very important that they get him moving, especially in light of the fact that today his lung was more collapsed than before, and also had some fluid.
They are going to give him a diuretic to try to help him urinate, but this sometimes puts electrolytes off-balance, so they're going to have to monitor that because out-of-whack electrolytes can send his heart into VTAC again.
At this point the doctors are still happy with the way things are going, and there is talk of releasing them as early as Saturday. But I know Teesa is in no hurry to leave, and they're all just taking this one day at a time.
In the midst of it all, there is little Carolina. And it sounds like she's being a trooper while most of the attention is on her big brother right now. She is still needing daily attention to her healing eye, but it sounds like she's doing well. Teesa is resting with her at the RMH tonight.
Please continue to keep them all in your prayers. We're praying for a good night and a really good day tomorrow. I know they are thankful beyond words for all your prayers.
