My Dad is off the ventilator now. He has been breathing on his own since about noon today. He is still hooked up to it and it's streaming continuous O2, but the breaths he is taking are all on his own. He huffs and puffs a little from time to time, but after some soothing, he calms down again.
He is moving his head quite a bit more today also. I believe he is slightly more aware of us than he was yesterday. So far, he hasn't come all the way out of his unconscious state yet.
A place where we can all come together to show our love and support and get semi-regular updates about Dave.

Dear Asha,
ReplyDeleteYou are doing an incredible job keeping us all informed! Thank you so much. I'm in Washington, DC, feeling very far away. Your posts and the photos remind me of Dave and how he is an exceptional human being. He must be one proud papa to have a daughter like you!
Love & Light,
