Arrived at the hospital today, and they just took dad off the vent. The covering neurologist (Bangladore) said that there's really not much new news. From their perspective the vent can be removed. We are waiting for the other people on dads case to all give the green light.
His vitals are good, BP, pulse, oxy saturation, etc all being maintained while he is off the vent. His nurse (Jon) wasn't a fan of removing the tube yesterday due to the amount of secretion in his lungs, but he thinks maybe today since it is better. We need the pulmonologist (Syed) to agree also. So there may be hope for today or tomorrow.
Dad is much more alert now, trying to talk to us through his eyes which must be quite frustrating. I don't know what he wants to say. Sometimes he seems sad, sometimes frustrated, sometimes worried. I wish I could come up with a way to hear what he wants us to. Mom is doing as good as can be expected, and she understands that this may be a longer road to recovery than last time. Please keep them both in your prayers.
Not only that, but all the broken and dislocated pieces of the universe-people and things, animals and atoms-get properly fixed and fit together in vibrant harmonies, all because of his death, his blood that poured down from the Cross.. ~ Col. 1:20
