Thankfully, another good day, the trend is positive...
Day 30 - Stanford Hospital ICU
A better day today! Still don't know the extent of yesterday's surgery to Mark's shattered legs - most of it was on the right leg, which has 15 pins in it. The left leg brace and pins (8) were removed (wonderful) and his leg is fully wrapped. The right leg is still in a big circle brace that the pins are connected to.
He was breathing pretty well without the aide of the ventilator. The only downside is that he has a lot of coughing to rid his lungs of the fluids built up this past 30 days just lying in a bed and so many operations. I will say he has a marvelous miracle comfy bed that does everything but talk. So hard to visit with him - have to be careful we don't ask questions just give him information about all of you and the phone calls, the blood drive, etc. A little at a time as he cannot grasp what has happened to him let alone what is ahead of him. One thing at a time and the main thing is to get him mended first. He is going to have another massage tomorrow so that should make him feel better.
All of his numbers look good right now and we just hope and pray he can get the goop out of his lungs. Then all of us can rest more easily.
Have a good night! God bless ya all!
