Progress report.

Haroun - we started him on the immunosuppressants yesterday, and will be alternating them with the immunoboosters every few days. His nervous system is still pretty frayed from the combined effects of the electrical shock to his spine and the high fevers, so we're continuing with the anti-convulsants. Hopefully they'll keep the fits to a minimum. He's already showing signs of bruising where the IVs are lodged, so we're going to have to be even more cautious about infection from our side as well as his. Quiet-ish night - some palpitations and I had to re-seat some of the waste tubes after his last bout of tremors, but nothing serious. Well, on the scale of things.

Doug and Kitty are back and immersed in the server room. I'm walking past on my way offshift to make sure they aren't killing themselves with work. Which reminds me... Hank? Hon? You are coming back upstairs this morning and getting some sleep in a real bed. Don't make me use the tazer.

Tommy - still unconscious, but stable overwise. We've set the breaks and dealt with the compund fracture to his shin, and the bruising is starting to go down. There's no guarantee he will wake up - the skull fracture's serious enough that there could be brain damage - but we'll cross that bridge if we get to it. The medlab helpers are doing an wonderful job - don't worry about your classes, we've arranged for all the students down here at the moment to have a suspension of classes until thing settle down. I know some of you are already ahead of things, but it's definitely one less thing for you (and us!) to worry about. Thank you all so much.

Jean, given Haroun's stabilising, ease things off to eight hourly shifts? We'll need to watch him with the drug regime, but I think we can stretch things a bit more now.

Speaking of which, bed for me. Pay no attention to the PhD being dragged along by his chest fur.

Yes, eight hour sets sounds good to me. Now that things have settled into a pattern there ought to be less chaos in each individual shift, making them less stressful on the whole. Am spending tonight mapping the best way to do the removal surgery. I want to make sure we're cutting as little as possible into the live tissue, especially when we take out the blown waste disposals. We need to leave him as much of his own alimentary tract as possible.

Oh, and, because I've not reverted to complete work-only barbarian mode, sleep well.

*grins* Shall do. And 'yes' to all the above. I'll be boning up on the cybernetics myself, since he'll still be infected when we start the removal, so it'll be us doing it.

Can I just say that this bloody thing makes me want to toss the samples out the window? And into a pit of lava? I've been going over everything I can while here and I still feel like I'm at square one, despite the cocktail I came up with working so far.

That sound you hear is of one incredibly frustrated Scotswoman.

As long as it maintains the status quo, Moira, I'm happy. We've got the plan of attack thanks to this mysterious David person, now we just need to make sure he lives through it. And that there's replacement parts at the end.
