He still has a way to go but he sat in his chair for over 6 hours today
He is really trying to clean his lungs with the contraptions they gave him
Has a small oxygen in the nose instead of mask
no food yet by mouth


thank you

I left for lunch yesterday and when I came back cath was out and nose tube out.
He can have some food now but he isn't very hungry.

The nurse said they will close up the long cut in his stomach before he gets to go home.
Right now it has some staples in it. Part it open.

He is still seeing things that isn't there but nurse said it will clear.


I'm just thankful for all the prayers and good wishes.

Wonderful progress!!!

The hallucinations could be from a build-up of ammonia in his blood.... with urine output not being what it should. Don't let them send him home with that... there IS a medicine... a liquid... that levels that out and stops the visions immediately. And it's just for the short term use.

I went through some of that with my first hubby... holy crap those hallucinations were really rough at times.

Thank you for good news update. Take care of yourself as you'll probably be pretty busy when he comes home.
