Will continues to rebound from his CO2 problems, and the result is that the aforementioned "jackhammer" effect of his ventilator has been lessened again. He seems to be settling in to a bit of stability, which as always is relative to the fact that he still is in the ICU and considered to be critical. Though he has had some trouble digesting his food lately, he'll get more in the coming day because they think he simply might not be getting enough now to trigger digestion. He's at 816 grams today, down from the past two days thanks to getting rid of some built-up fluid after surgery. All in all, he's having a pretty good day.
