Monday 11/27 update

Saw the PeeeJaaay today. He was out of the spinning bed and out of the darth vader mask. this is the first time I have seen him without all the gauze and tape. He is looking GREAT. I was so excited to see his face...and he looks just like the PJ we all know and love. There does not seem to be a lot of scaring. his eyebrows are starting to grow back, which means we won't have to paint them on later:) His face is still a little puffy, but it is way down from before. I saw his left ear (which is the one most hurt) for the first time as well as that side of his head. It looks good, but the doctors still needs to determine if graphs will be needed. His hands are still wrapped up so I was not able to see those, but word is that he may need some minior work there. No fever, O2 saturation was holding great at 99 and the vent is still turned down to 45, which is really good. He is still on antibiotics for the pneumonia, today they got A LOT of the junk in his lungs that has been causing some of the problems with his pneumonia. So this is a really good thing. The bed he is in has been working and he is probably going to be out of it by weds am. He is still on the rotation of 3 hours on his stomach swinging back and forth and the two hours on his back. So this my friends was a really good day in PJ Land. We need lots more just like it - keep him in your thoughts and prayers - they are working :) - steve
