Today has brought some improvements. Josh is no longer on the medicine to paralyze him, however he is still sedated and will remain so for awhile. He may be able to respond to my voice and maybe squeeze my hand some when the medication wears all the way off, it takes time. His vitals have been great so far today. He has been taken off the dialysis machine just a few minutes ago. He is still somewhat swollen but they say what is left is from the trauma of the accident. Dr. Miller was in this morning and seems pleased with his progress. Later today or in the morning he will start receiving nutrition through the feeding tube they placed when doing the last surgery. It still sounds like it will be Wednesday before they close up his stomach, but it is looking really good and hardly draining at all anymore.
I am excited for the progress he has made. He still has a long way to go, please keep him in your prayers. I know that they have helped him so much. Again I am grateful for everyone who has helped and continues to help. I am thankful that I am able to stay here at the hospital with him for now.
Love to all, Denise
Glad to hear of good progress. Lots of love to all of you...
