Day 24: ICU
Today Mark had the trach put in for easier breathing. They also did the exam by camera in the bronchial tubes but did not go into the lungs as they found some matter in the trachea passage and took cultures. Mark was still asleep when we arrived at 6:00 this evening so just dropped in to check on him. Anyway, hopefully tonight and here on until he heals he can breathe easier. They had checked his stomach and everything there looks good and healing well. The kidney and pancreas is working well. Lots of fluids are still being drained from his chest cavity and that is good. Hopefully, the antibiotic for the pneumonia is cutting down the infection.
Take care for the weekend and so glad that the emails are going out to all of you on the ‘blog’. Hugs to everyone!
