Tuesday, Dad’s improvements from yesterday have held stable. Dad’s breathing is almost completely on his own, with just a little machine assistance for safety. His spiking temp is much lower today too. Dad still has a bit of a temp, but with the change in medication from yesterday it seems to be helping. He is still sedated, and drifting through pain and sleep, but thats part of the recovery process. Not quite taking dad off the sedation just yet. Dad’s care team is still trying to find the fine line between awake and pain free is the current modus operandi. Dad is a tricky patient. Mix a high pain threshold with his extensive injuries and you have a care team juggle. Also official surgery news; Dad has another surgery scheduled for Thursday in the afternoon. This surgery will be on his face, specifically his orbits, underneath his eyes. Thanks for all your thoughts, prayers, concerns, and encouraging words. Keep them coming as we have a long road ahead of us.
