Hello,
I went in for 40 min on Saturday, he was pretty much in the same condition as before. Mom went in this morning, and came home and told me that he's having trouble breathing on the ventilator, and he is restrained because of being restless. She asked how long they leave patients on the vent and they said 10 days before going to the trach...but because of his incisions and things they don't really want to do a trach...I think they are going to be doing xrays in the morning as he has some seeping from his incisions and he is being put back on paralyzer medication, and anitbiotics so that no infection arises from the incision seeping. He has no fever, and the xrays will check the lungs. They want to do a blood transfusion because of all the diluting that the medication has done and because they have been taking so much out. Just continue the prayers!
That's all for now...
