Well it sure feels like a beautiful day. The phone call from Dr Armstrong telling me that Doug was up and talking to him. WHAT? I couldn't believe it. I was excited to see for myself. He certainly was, sitting up and talking. Ok, the speech is very difficult to understand, but the humor, wit and everthing that's Doug is still there.
The electrodes on his head are back on. They want to continue to monitor for any seizures. His temp is holding around 99 degrees with medicine and a cooling pad. The Eye Doctor checked behind the retna and there doesn't appear to be a problem from TB. However there is a problem with the two eyes focusing together. So the problem is not his eyes it's his brain. It isn't conclusive that he DOES NOT have TB, but everything continues to point to a viral infection. They removed the feeding tube after the speech pathologist did a swallow study and found that it is working fine.
Doug is very weak, but he did eat some lunch and supper. He seemed to be exhausted after eating supper and wanted to relax/sleep. He insisted on wearing the CPap. I'm not all the familar with it but got it on him. His fine motor skills are slightly off and it's difficult to see what he wants to do and have to take serveral trys to get it done.
Recovery is moving forward.
