Our Fighter Boy
The chronicle of our journey with our special first born
Archives / My Personal Blog / My Multiplypost cardiac arrest day #15
Izhar’s getting more awake. He’s off the morphine already so he actually should be more awake…
Our little fighter did night shift the last two nights with the evening nurse. Slept thoughout the day and so was more awake at night. The nurses are saying he’s currently on US time. Hopefully he’ll be back to local time in the upcoming days…
Anyways, today he seems to be a lil crankier. AND breathing faster. most likely due to the change in the secretions. its starting to get looser compared to the last few days, and as it gets looser its presence is more evident, and thus irritating the poor boy even more. Insha’allah the loose secretions are signs that the lung infection are getting better.
Thus far even though his eyes are open and he is more awake, he has yet to focus and track. Whether he is able to focus and track would very much be an indication of how far/bad the brain damage will be. Thus far things are still very much in the unknown and so we still have a long way to go.
Some good news though is that his arms and feet are still responsive. We still have yet to see if he’s able to sit up. The gangrene issue seems to be looking up. His hands and left feet are looking better but the right foot is still an issue. The tip of the last toe on the right foot is really black. We have no idea if its just dead skin or that whole tip is dead. The second toe is grayish and we’re still waiting to see if its gonna be black.
All in all, its still a game of patience.
We’ll see.
