Septic Shock update

Lachlan is doing much better. He is still in CCTC and will stay there for today and maybe longer. He will probably be transferred to a general ward later. The doctor would like to keep him in hospital while he has the antibiotics but a final decision hasn't been made yet. They were able to wean him off some of the medications and his blood pressure stayed up and is stable. His heart and other organs are functioning well. The only thing that they are still concerned about is the oxygen levels . He still has an oxygen mask but they have been able to reduce the oxygen percentage. He has been able to sit up in a chair for a while.
