This is a photo of Alex (left) and his brother Kent during their grandparents' 49th Anniversary party two years ago. It was a good time for everyone.Alex looks better today. The swelling in his face has gone down a bit and you can see all the eye lashes. He still looks like he is wearing heavy eye shadow but the size of his eye lids is more normal.
Alex is in a regular hospital bed this evening. The ROTO Bed has gone to another patient. His lungs have responded well to the ROTO Bed. The pulmonologist told the family that he is happy with the progress that Alex has made in just the past 24 hours. His vent settings are much better and he has been removed from all the medication to paralyse him. At this time, he is not fighting the vent and his oxygen setting is at 30%. Room air is 21% oxygen so he is getting closer to being on a room air setting. Now we have to hope that he will breathe on his own.
His mother has been at the hospital since this all started last Wednesday. Other family members are taking turns coming to visit. We are hoping she can leave to rest at home for a night very soon.
