All the prayers are working and truly making an impact!! Los had a much better sleep last night. Dex (sedation med) has remained off. They started a “wake-up” med late yesterday and will keep that going today (now that Dex is off… with the hope that can help bring him out of the coma now that his vitals are back and in a consistent, stable condition). CPAP went longer yesterday (4 hrs) and is back to going the right direction again (versus the 1/2 hr. the day before)!! White cell counts are down from 16 yesterday to 12 this [...]

A bit of a restless sleep for Los last night as his body looks to be fighting some sort of possible infection (based on white cell count spike, and fever that has been hovering around 101). Doctors have started a general antibiotic as of last night. As of 9:30am his fever started to subside a bit. Please be praying those symptoms continue to settle and stabilize throughout the day today. Dex had gone back on to help with some neuro-storming / elevated blood pressure and heart rate overnight (Dex currently at 0.2). But vitals started to stabilize this morning [...]

2hrs on CPAP yesterday. Doctors are hoping to see that turn around today and start going back the other direction with longer progressions in the days ahead. They will try CPAP and the ergo-bike again this morning and see how Los does. Doctor outlined and reminded us that this is a long process of healing, as they work with Los hour by hour, day by day. Dex (sedation med) is still off. Some occasional posturing / flexion off and on. But overall Los looks comfortable, and his blood pressure and heart rate are back closer to normal. 🙏 Los [...]

Los did 4 hrs on CPAP yesterday… Less time than the days prior, but nurses believe he was tired from the few long prior days on CPAP and wanted to focus on and prioritize rest. Prayers needed for Los’ strength to push through and get back into a CPAP rhythm there. The goal is for longer durations each day. A decent night for Los on the ventilator last night. One neuro-storming incident, which he was able to recover from and settle back down for the remainder of the night. Los’ eyes still opening halfway (dazed state) for a few [...]

June 10th - Morning update A good nights rest on ventilator CPAP all day again yesterday! And the nurse even started a bit of PT with legs on a small ergo-bike machine. 💪 And yesterday evening, as Los was surrounded by family and his siblings, he started to open his eyes off and on…. Halfway open and in a daze for a few moments, before dozing back off for a good nights sleep. Los was also squeezing family members’ hands, rubbing his fingers together, and doing a bit of swallowing on his own. His eyes opened halfway for a [...]
