Tony had a good day today. He has been moving his right arm and right leg and we also saw him move his left shoulder. he also has been opening his eyes a lot. He is still very weak but his breathing is getting stronger. It is so good to be able to see his eyes open and see his muscles move. We are not sure what any of this means yet but the nurse says he did good.
the doctor took him off the opium based sedatives and put him on ativan and percocet which he gets orally through a tube. the doctor will check his drain in his head sometime this week and pinch it off to see how he does. If he does well they will remove it. Thank you for your prayers! Please continue to pray for his recovery.

ReplyDeleteThank you Kori!
ReplyDeleteToday's news has been great. It's wonderful to hear of the progress.
ReplyDeletedoes this mean he is out of the coma? i know it says he's moving and responding to commands etc but then it says they'll be reducing sedatives some more so i'm a little confused i guess. i don't know what it all means. but either way this is great progress!! i continue to pray for him! i hope and pray he continues to heal and there are no set backs!

ReplyDeleteThanks Karl and Anonymous for your words of encouragement..
ReplyDeleteColleen, we are not sure. The best I could get out of the nurse was to describe him as semiconscoius. I am a little confused as to what it means as well. The doctors just say it is good but too early to tell anything.
