Wednesday;
This was a very good day for Jon as his lungs functioned better and he tolerated a lowering of his sedative medication. Jackie Lemke said it best in her text of this morning when she commented on his alertness, his responsiveness and his strong grey eyes. The color and attitude were back. The doctors continue him on Heparin but feel that he probably can undergo the first of several surgeries: this one to move his breathing tube to a lower part of his neck (trachesotomy) and to wire his jaw to treat the upper jaw fracture. His morning vital signs wil determine if this is a “go” tomorrow . We are expecting this to happen. All systems seem to be working well and his laboratory ststus is good for blood count and such. So overall this was a very good day and we hope points the way to the future. he still has a long trek ahead of him here in the hospital..
Many friends were by : Beth Clague, Adam and Mrs. Salwasser Dustin Cunning, Natalie Carter, Mr. Simon , Nick Debenedetto and Steve ‘s wife Suzanna who works in the Or here, and perhaps others whom I may have missed. Thanks to all.
