Day 61
Charlos is now semi-conscious, waking and sleeping regularly, showing awareness by making eye contact and responding to simple commands (thumbs up, Shaka sign, blinking). He’s breathing independently and meets the criteria for transfer to Craig Hospital in Colorado, pending insurance approval. He’s currently using a T-bar trach with 28% oxygen, and his left side is functioning better than his right. Recently, he experienced discomfort due to urinary retention requiring a catheter, which has since been removed. Tomorrow, a device will be attached to his trach to aid in speaking for the first time. Continued prayers are requested for insurance approval for the transfer to Craig Hospital, and for the reduction of ammonia levels in his brain to subside.
