For tonight's visit, Torrey was awake and fairly alert.
He is still pretty weak from the medication, but luckily his respiratory rate was reasonable so no immediate anxiety issues.
He received a beautiful Shutterfly book of Thalia for Fathers' Day from a very special family.
I was able to show him this in detail. It was a struggle for him to keep his eyes open, but he looked at every picture. We were also able to give him Thalia's Fathers' Day gift - a new wallet.
The internal bleeding has stopped, and they have been weaning him off the blood pressure medicine. The anxiety meds, in addition to making him sleep, also made his blood pressure dangerously low, and they had to administer 10x the normal dose to stabilize him the other night.
I am cautiously optimistic that this week will result in more milestones, as overcome the setbacks from the past few days. One positive thing that has remained constant is that he was taken off his antibiotics a few days ago. His white blood count, while still high, did not go up and he only got a temperature for about a day.
Regards,
Monica
