Now Viewing 9-13 of 13 Reverse Order
13 July 30, 2006 at 09:53 PM PDT
Terry had a challenging evening last night with mucous in his lungs from the pneumonia. This morning, they were able to suction out the lungs and Terry had a marked improvement. He was given a couple doses of Manidol to control the cranium pressure today. I think the lowest was 9 and the highest was 29. Terry is now on a feeding tube to the small intestine through his nose. The nurse joked with me this afternoon that he was having a cheeseburger shake. His fever is gone and Terry looks good. They conducted an ultrasound today to check for blood clots. It appears that he does not have any clots in his system and this is a big relief. I heard while Staci was in the room, Terry passed some gas so he must be enjoying the cheeseburger shake. Tomorrow, Terry will most likely have a catscan done on his head. In addition, around 4 am this morning they will begin taking him off the paralytic medicine. Terry is receiving a sedative, a paralytic, and morphine. Once the paralytic is reduced, Terry may start to have some movement. Depending on how this goes will determine future next steps. Thanks again to everyone for your thoughts and prayers. We pray that Terry has a restful evening tonight. David Quilleon
