« on: July 25, 2006, 07:10:16 pm »
Update on Chris....

Hello from Pittsburgh...

1.  Chris's fever has finally broke.  The heart rate has come down to 96-low 100's.

2.  Swalow test shows he is doing pretty well but want to try again tomorrow and do barium study before n/g tube is removed.

3.   Bood pressure beginning to normalize.

4.   This is the day of maximum swelling and he seems good but a little drowsy.  He didn't get very far with physical therapy today, wants to sleep.

5.   All CT SCans looking good.

6.   He still has wires everywhere and still in neuro-ICU

7.   Vocal cord scope all good.

8.   Expect nerve graft in 1 month for facial nerve and gold weight in eye any day now.

9.   Don't know about balance and walking yet, too soon.

10.  bad headaches...meds make him sleepy.

Cheering you on Chris! Drinks (yes, even non-alcoholic!) are being served on the Veranda Deck when you are feeling better! Hang in there! We're cheering you on!
