|Today and yesterday were quite depressing days for me. I think it is |finally sinking in.... |Lee is doing ok at the moment. His O2 levels are holding steady at |60% and he seems to have gotten over the bacterial infection in his |brain. Unfortunately, he isn't responsive, or barely so. He is very |active with his leg and arm, probably from the discomfort of lying in |a bed for almost 5 weeks. He is also still extremely aware of himself |and scratching, etc. It has been two days that he hasn't been very |responsive to me or anyone else and he is also agitated. Today was a |little better as far as the agitation goes, and he slept some today, |finally. I just hope tomorrow will be better. |We will really need your prayers through the next few weeks because |this will be the time that Lee will hopefully show his true colors |underneath all the *healing*. I keep praying that he will come |through and the swelling and irritation will continue to decrease so |that he will increase in awareness and skills. Tomorrow they are |doing a CAT scan to see if there are any changes. They will also be |probably putting in the shunt this week. More surgery, yuck!
|finally is clearing up. Today he had almost 90 mls in 12 hours. That |is the most he has had yet. I am hoping that all the inflammation |from the antibiotics and bacteria is causing this period of |non-responsivness. |When they take the drain out and/or put in the shunt, we will have to |consider where Lee will go next. We are going to try to have all the |Dr.'s meet so we can get some idea where we are going next. This part |scares me to death. I just know that I want Lee home ASAP! |I just pray to God daily for Lee to recover more every day. God help |me if he doesn't..... | |Love, |Jen |Lee Green aka Funny1 (Well not ALWAYS!) |[email] Please add a "w" before "riteme" to email. |Sorry for the inconvenience but spammers have made it necessary.
