It is Monday and Chris had a good weekend. Chris is continuing to have good blood sugars and is still at 60 to 65 on life support and getting an oxy of 90 to 100. Still heavily sedated but occasionally responsive. the Dr. explained that he wants Chris to do just a little bit of breathing on his own and let the machines do the rest. Sort of like a very gentle physical therapy for his lungs. The Dr said it will still be several days before they even consider taking life support off. His temp was normal yesterday and his color was great.
In talking with the nurses it is a suggested rule of thumb for someone that has been so ill for so long that it takes 3 days of recovery for every day of illness. Today is day 26 in the ICU and day 13 on life support.
The kids saw daddy twice yesterday. one in the afternoon, then again last night before bed. they wanted to say goodnight to daddy. Bailey hugged and kissed and talked to daddy, Connor asked about 75 questions and touched daddy's hand, they are doing very well with understanding that daddy is sick and and it is going to take a long time and a lot of work for daddy to get better.
Bailey just sat on my lap and asked if we could go see daddy today. We miss him so much
