It's day 13, and it's been a VERY "quiet" day. Jack has been asleep most of the day, but he must be feeling better. When Peggy and Don (his brother and sister) were in with him this morning, he wanted to fight everyone in the place.... Don, the doctor, the nurse, etc. This afternoon, they disconnected the kidney dialysis machine (temporarily), and they have relocated his feeding tube from his throat into his nose - it's safer, and more comfortable for the patient.
The nurse (John) said that they are still planning to try to get the ventilator off sometime tomorrow; I'm sure he'll feel a LOT better when that tube is out of his throat!!
Sandra and I just went back to see him, and he's still knocked out. The nurse said they have him on some drugs for his "itching" - just a by-product of lying in bed for almost two weeks.
Tomorrow will be another day, and we're excited and thankful for each and every day and the improvement Jack experiences.
Keep praying and sending your thoughts to the family.
Chip
