Hello PJ Land, well it was another exciting day in the wonderful world of PJ. First off, he had a great night. He has really responded well to the new ventilator settings, and is going along with it very nicely. They dropped his Ativan again today, so he was a bit more alert and man was that tongue going! When he wakes up, he opens his eyes and then immediately starts moving his tongue to get his feeding tube out of his mouth. He is sweating all the time, so I am always wiping him when I am there. He is responding to commands, and I thought was reacting much better when he woke up. We found out today that the Ativan is addicting, and he will have to be weened off of it and is given Methadone to counteract the detox symptoms. He is doing really well, so all the prayers are working.
His left hand was completely uncovered today, and although it doesn't look near as good as his right, it will heal very nicely. It did have some dark blisters, but the nurse said that is normal and will heal in time. He is doing great and will be up and moving in no time I am sure. This is my last blog for a while, Heather is here now and she can keep everyone updated.
Hug your loved ones, and tell them you love them.
Chris
