THURSDAY EVENING UPDATE

I ventured out to an appointment today, so I'm just now getting to the hospital to Sean, though Dawn did call me this morning after the Doctors made their rounds. Here's what is new:
1. I saw Sean's O2 at 79-I guess it ventured to 80 for a brief moment, so that's progress.
2. If his O2 levels don't continue to climb, and it's time to come home, there is the possibility he will need to have 24/7 oxygen; initially the doctors say that could last from 6 months to a year. That's still not a decision to be made yet, just one thing in the new mix.
3. He will be on a blood thinner, thus we will have to watch his diet since this blood thinner and vitamin K don't get along. No food with vitamin K.
4. He is responding to us a little, but as I've mentioned to some, he has this "why did you do this to me" look as opposed to "come rescue me" look. He's never been a TV watcher, but he just lays in bed watching Elmo.
5. They did take out one of his chest tubes, and as the kids and I arrived was having his foly catheter removed (every males nightmare). Dawn just said putting it in is the nighmare. I stand corrected.
6. Sean is drinking juice/milkshake/water on his own, and he did eat one green bean, one mac and cheese noodle, and some bread. He ate a handful of M&Ms from Will. Will also got Sean to slap his toy Elmo around-progress.

I've been humbled to know how many people have prayed for Sean and us. Thank you.
