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.

Medlab help?

I was thinking, since Rahne's tied up with Rachel when Moira's at the hospital, and Clarice is bouncing between her job and the medlab, and I've got a little furry girl throwing expensive tantrums because she's being neglected, is there a way to get more medlab helpers? Temporary ones, even? Just someone to watch over Coma Boy and make sure he's kept clean and the rest - the RedX people would have the training, wouldn't they?

Not wanting to make things harder given Haroun and all, but we're really stretched right now.
