Yesterday dad's hemoglobin was 5.4 (normal for an adult male is 14-18), but today it has doubled (just over 10). He got three units of blood yesterday instead of four, and his color is returning, his voice is a little better, and he's getting stronger. Dr. Duke referred to it as "being out of gas, and then being revved up with supreme".
Dr. Duke checked the skin graft (as well as the fistulas). He is really pleased with how the skin is looking (he might have even used the word "GOOD"). The fistulas continue to drain, and that is a problem he will have to address later.
