Update - Day 13

This post is from Belinda:

  • Doctors have decided against the IVIG treatment.  They feel the risks out way the benefits at this time.
  • They are still trying to work on controlling his pain management by trying to figure out what medications work best for him.
  • Neurologists are please with him regaining some sensation, but to prepare for plateaus and regressions.
  • Neal & I talked with the doctors about when the ventilator may be removed.  They are starting to wean him off of it to see how he responds.  Better assessment by the end of next week.
  • Neal's spirits are high
We are both very appreciative of all the love and support we have been shown from our family and friends.
Neal wants to especially thank his brothers for making sure I am okay. Typical of Neal - he is more worried about me than himself.
