I talked to his mother yesterday and she said he is making steady improvement. They have his blood pressure under control with no meds now and his blood levels are almost where they need to be. They also got a lot of fluid out of him and the swelling is gone. Was still under sedation.

Improvements :)

As of noontime today.........

By tonight John should be breathing on his own.

They are weaning him off the sedation and should be off that within a couple of days.

they say he will have amnesia of most everything..he wont be fully cognizant until the sedation is completelly gone.
he has indicated he can hear but wont remember any of it..

The nurse said recovery is remarkable .

Steady recovery progress being made almost hourly..

Just spoke with Mrs.Slug , John had another good night , they still have to drain fluid from his lungs and have him on a ventilator but they have him out of the special bed and his nurse says the chest xrays are looking better than the last ones . John also is not quite happy about the tube and wants to fight with his nurse when the drugs wear off so we'd better not send any chainsaw stuff for gifts just yet LOL
I'd say the fighting part shows that he aint ready to quit just yet .
