He's been getting a little less propofol (which one of his nurses calls milk of amnesia) and seems to be responding okay. Then he 'wakes up' enough and bites his breathing tube, starting alarms so they turn it back up. He's still responding well on his left side and mom saw his right toe move slightly last night!
They've taken his bandages off completely and it is quite the scar - he's going to be so proud of it soon. The swelling has gone way down and he looks like himself again - just partially bald.
We still don't know when they might do a complete neuro exam and evaluate how much longer he needs to be in the ICU. We're just waiting and taking one day at a time.
Keri,
ReplyDeleteIt's good to see a post with the word "healing" in it. And it's good to know that you have your loving family members around you right now. I am serious about offering to help in any way that I can, especially because I'm so close by.
I am keeping Matt and you in my thoughts and prayers every day, and I am sure the the combined strength of the two of you will pull you through this ordeal.
We'll all keep sending healing vibes Matt's way.
Take care,
Sarah Rosow
