Sorry its been so long since a post. I (being Matheus) had to
work through the weekend and Elanor had the smalls. As to Wormy
we have improvements. I spent about an hour at the hospital this
evening and saw and was told a few new things. First, he was
awake and aware for the entire time I was there. Second, the
doctors are looking at taking him off the ventilator tomorrow if
he can pass the little breathing test they have for him. He is
currently only being given 6 breaths by the ventilator each
minute(I understand that he is breathing @ 15 times a minute on
his own). Third, he has lost 10 kilos over the weekend. That may
not sound good until you realize that over the last 3 weeks he
went from a weight of @ 70 kilos up to 95. (thats a jump of
155lbs to 210). He is now back down to 85 kilos(185lbs). Its all
fluid weight from the IV's and such. On the whole, while a
little groggy and highly irritated at not being able to talk
past the naso-gastric and ventilator tubes, he! acted much like
the Wormy we've all been worried about.
Hoping to have more good news soon,
Matheus
