Update #39

Dad continues to make progress and move forward. Dad is at a point where that are providing a minimal amount of support and he is breathing much more on his own. The breathing trials continue but in a different format now with his progress. Dad is now getting a Tracheostomy Collar. This is a huge step forward and and ahead of the original breathing trials with modified setting on the ventilator. With the collar, staff is able to let dad breath on his own unassisted. Dad is watching staff enter and exit the room and is promptly responded the best he can to staff. Staff ask him to squeeze a hand and is able to follow commands And squeeze as asked. Doctors continue to elaborate how strongly encouraged they are with dads progression. His levels are great and the kidney doctors no longer fee the need to follow dads welfare anymore. It appears at this point that the only thing that’s Keeping dad in the ICU versus the regular floor unit is the need of the ventilator. His need of the ventilator is lessening everyday so far.

Dad still has along road of recovery ahead of him. Dad coming home is a decent time away. Again we will cross that bridge when it comes and he goes through their respected rehabilitation periods and sites. Still at this point staff has not related any change in visitation and is still not allowed.

Staff has coordinated the concert for dad and will occur for him at 1500 hrs, 3pm tomorrow. Some Musicians will log on to a created Zoom meeting and play music for dad.
