The cough from hell

Vlad has developed a nasty cough and is very congested. Conlon's kind of been dismissing it; maybe he thought it was minor or would disappear. But Vlad didn't sleep last night because of it and nurses were in and out trying to help him. So a pulmonary specialist (a lung doctor) has been assigned to check him out. Vlad's supposed to get a chest X-ray any minute, but no sign of Dr. Lung yet.

The nephrologist returned and said the kidneys were not normal yet, but they would get there. They're still giving him potassium and sodium bicarb to clear up his body chemistry.

It hasn't been a great day so far, but there has not been any significant news one way or the other.
