Thankyou everyone-all your positive thoughts must've worked, I was with son today, as they reduced the amount of paralizing drugs, & see if he'd come round. He started taking the odd breath for himself....they took him off the machine, & he is now breathing unaided-(except he has oxygen still). The tube's out of his throat, & 'venflon' in wrist with about Six attachments is gone-he's attached to so much less now-& tube's out of his tummy, nose, throat....
The one is still in his neck though.....
Specialists are amazed at how well son's responded-(again!!)
I Was told today he has pnuemonia, aswell as neutropenic/septisemia, (& 'something else, which I can't recall'!) *Shakes frazzled head* lol
However, now that he's now off life support, is breathing, (albeit shllow, hence the need for the oxygen), he's looking so much better.
Todays visit lasted about 5-10mins though...
He just wants to sleep, & is too tired to talk....poor kid, I know what he means though, he feels he has to talk, & that wears him out. I told him to just sleep-I'd hold his hand....(.I'm taking alot of 'opportunities' to be able to hold his hand, stroke his (newly grown again) hair)....All the things I did when he was a baby, & haven't done for years now, because he's a man!.....
It's so pitiful to watch him gasping-it's like he can't breathe deeply, he just takes quick, shallow breaths, unless he has more oxygen.
He is just so tired at he moment......but let him sleep!- Sleep's the best healer!!
Thankyou all for reading this. I hope you're the best you can be!....
Bless you all for the positivity, you're diamonds, & it's all so appreciated!!
