For those who are keeping track on a daily basis, There hasn't been much change in his condition over the past couple of days. They have had him on Ativan which is a tranquilizer, so he really hasn't had too many conscious moments.
He's still on the ventilator and it seems like he probably will be until the other pulmonologist takes over next week, maybe tomorrow. His peep level was a 5 yesterday, which is really good. They told me that he would more than likely be on the ventilator until he was at a 5 or lower for awhile.
It seems like things have stalled a little as far as progress, but I suppose that's somewhat normal. I've been warned that it could be that way by a friend who's Father had similar injuries.
At least all of the rest will help him heal faster. It's astonishing to me that it has already been 2 weeks since his accident. The days are all blurring together.
