Journal entry by Jamie Engelmeyer —
When we arrive back to see burke this morning we have some really good news! Burke is losing fluid , he lost 13 ounces of fluid weight in 24 hours. He is also looking much better in his face now as well, and he can open his eyes. Just a little bit but it is still nice to see. They are also letting him move a little more to keep loosening up the fluid in his tissues. The plan is to make sure he keeps peeing this fluid off, as this what he needs most. The suction tube on the clotted blood is also still working well, getting a bunch of the old clotted blood out of his body.
