He is still on the respirator sadly. Kind of a balancing act as he needs a lot of pain medication as so much is broken. However the more medication is given the less he is able to breathe on his own. Please pray the tube comes out tomorrow. It seems to be hurting him quite a bit and he cannot talk to tell us where else it hurts.
After much deliberation, the doctors decided to let my brother decide. They could remove the respirator, but in doing so they would be unable to medicate him as heavily for the pain. He shook his head vigorously in the yes position.
This afternoon my brother was moved from the intensive care unit to Mary Free Bed next door. Please pray for his stamina to go through the extensive physical therapy needed for him to get back to normal.
Thank you for keeping us updated Kamahido. Going from ICU to an area with intense PT sounds like a positive step! Still keeping him, you and the rest of the family in prayer. :angel:
