Hi Everybody, Here are some of the first pictures of our patient. The top two are after his field trip to the shampoo bowl and the one here to the left is the one right before he boarded his chariot (wheelchair). He feels like a new man. He got wahed up, brushed his teeth, put in his contacts and got his hair washed. Wow it only took about 2 hours. He sat in the chair for a long time and we just got him back into bed. Now we took the contacts out, got the circulation hose back on, the machine going on his legs, he just did what he calls the "anti pnuemonia machine", we hooked him back up to the NG (Nasal Gastric ) pump and the oxygen sensor to his finger and the oxygen in his nose, so now he can take a nap. And I think I need one too! He is doing great. The blood transfusion definetly has given him more energy. If he starts wanting to bale hay or something we may need a new drug to counter act the symptoms. All kidding aside. He is feeling stronger. Just have one concern and that is the GI tude is leaking from the abdomin. The resident Surgeon looked at it and had the nurse redress it and thought it would be ok. It was saturated again 2 hours later and so the nurse is going to contact Dr. Shilyanski the head surgeon. Hopefully it will be no big deal. I am going to turn the lights out so he can get to sleep. It's 4:45 now. There isn't really any significant things to base your day around. Most people have breakfast, lunch and dinner or tv programs. We have none of that. They don't know how long it will take for his system to wake up. After it does it will take a few days to gently ease into food. Seth doesn't like the sound of TV yet, it bothers him. He is still so tired and says he can't concentrate or think clearly yet. Drs. said it can take up to 4-5 days with as long as he was unconscience. Ok. well see ya later. V
