John's temp is fluctuating between 99 - 101. He got up to 101.8 at one point, but last reading I heard was 99.
Ends up that might not say if surgery is on or off on Monday. Today's nurse put an adverb with "surgery on Monday." "Tentatively." The surgeon has to call and let them know this weekend. The surgeon already didn't call back for two days the first time they asked for an estimate, so he may or may not call this time. In which case, not on Monday.
I want to talk to John's Intensivist tomorrow. (I've only talked to doctors three times so far -- twice at my insistence and once at his insistence -- so I'm not being a nuance, but when I need to know something, I need to know.) I have two important questions:
1. What's the deal with the surgery? I want a real date, not a tentative date.
2. What are his chances to live now? (The doctor who insisted I stay until he could get to me, insisted because he wanted to know John was still in serious trouble. That was the first week, and he told me the day of John's massive heart attack, he only had a 10-15% chance to survive the next 24 hours. And then when he was talking to me, John had a 50/50 chance. I'd like to know if his chances are better now or the same.
