Day 28

Most of the time I leave all the blog reporting to Meg. Last night I got on the computer, I looked up head trauma. Needless to say, I could not sleep at all. I went to the Hospital at 5am. I was determined to get answers from the Neurologist. Well, they sure don't make promises. His surgeon is Oriental and hard to understand. So we are on to plan B. We have a call into his nurse. Mark has been off of the ventilator all day. They have been using a trek collar that has supplied oxygen, but he has to do all the work himself. This is good. They also took him off of all the Morphine. He is still taking Oxycodone. He has a hard time staying awake. Must be good stuff!! He's still getting breathing treatments. They, still can't find out were the infection is. But with drain tubes coming out of him and all the cuts for all the drains in him. I think we are on the list for Monday (again)for surgery if his White blood cell count stays down. Mark, I think is a little more alert today.

I'm so afraid of the unknown. I try to keep positive. It will be four weeks today. Most of the time I'm OK.


That was written last about 2 am

Now his white blood count is back up to 25. His chest x-ray looks worse, so they did a cat scan on his chest. They said that his right lung looks worse than his left and they may consider inserting a drain into that side.
