.......and the healing continues. The bronchial check that they did this morning found some blockages, cleared them and now Pete is doing most of the breathing himself and the ventilator is helping him minimally, just giving some extra help here and there :) So, he remains intubated for a little bit yet.
Peter always was better at playing Charades than me, so it takes me awhile to catch on to what he's asking for.......but, we manage!
They also have removed a number of chest drains today, which is a good sign.
Pete's retaining a lot of fluid yet and that's partly due to his kidneys having taken a bit of a hit during the surgery. Ex-rays this morning showed that they are coming around.
Our daughter Suzanne could not be here with her dad because "baby" is due really soon and Brad left for home again this morning.
So long for now.
And again a small step forwards......so good to read this. Hartelijke groeten, Tallien

ReplyDeleteYou go Pete!
ReplyDeleteCharades is good. I suspect that no laughter is allowed while playing. Hopefully the communication will improve. Keep up the good work. I am praying for patience for both of you. Kathleen
