Friday update... Finally spoke with surgeons yesterday, they went in
with camera through the leg that same way they coiled the first
anyurizm.
Everything Looks good and no additional bleeding and the fluid
that was on the brain is working its way out of his system via
temporary shunt, time will tell if a permanent one is needed.
They are
keeping him sedated to gain strength and heal a bit.
The reason they
have not removed the breathing tube is because of a little excess trauma
related fluid in the lungs which they have been clearing out daily.
Removing the breathing tube, well they don't want to remove until he is
completely ready which I completely understand.
Then I told him there
are quite a few people that want to visit that I have been holding at
bay and he stated that he should be ready for visitors about 3 days
after his tube is removed as his throat is going to be rather raw.
I
also want them to shave the back of his head so he doesn't look like a
Hare Krishna {he is somewhat prideful} and hes also got an issue going
on with his right eye from pressure behind it from the brain which will
dissipate with time.
They are still trying to keep risk of infection
down as well.
First 2 weeks after that last surgery are critical to his
healing.
They promised to call me to be there when the tube is removed.
I
want to be the face he sees when they finally pull back the medication
veil to remove it. pain meds they will keep doing until about 3 days
before hes ready to go home which I'm told should be about the 7th of
October. So far So good.
Will keep Everyone updated when he is ready for
visitors.
