After putting the breathing tube back late Thursday night, the doctors have been letting Michael rest on the ventilator on sedation. The insertion of the breathing tube directly into the trachea should be tomorrow or Tuesday. It will be more comfortable and should make it easier on Michael to wean from the vent.
For now Michael has been more comfortable and we're praying his body is using this time for healing. Michael is on lots of meds and has lots of bloodwork and tests to monitor him. He remains on dialysis--hopefully it is temporary
We appreciate your continued prayers for the healing of his lungs, his platelets to rise, no more infections and prayers for all the doctors and staff caring for him.
Thanks for the continued updates. Give his hand a squeeze and tell him its from Uncle John whose thinks of him and prays for him daily.
ReplyDeleteContinuing to pray for your family, especially Michael and his doctor. Please tell Mark not to worry about anything at work - all is fine.
