After spending 18 hours at the hospital yesterday, for the sake of sanity, energy and work I am limiting myself today. Will was doing OK this morning; not great, but better compared to low points over the past few days. He seemed agitated this morning. Whether it was the result of all that he's been through recently, a reaction to his lungs being compromised by fluid or pain resulting from some or all of this, we're not sure. They sedated him and he seemed to settle in pretty well. The plan today will be to leave him alone as much as possible and let him continue to recuperate. They'll keep an eye on the fluid around the lung, which, while seemingly slowing, continues to accumulate, and will just generally work to keep him happy and comfortable.
