"Hi guys, Last Sat, they turned down the sedation and Edi became a bit distressed:b/p and heart rate shot up so they put him back to sleep again as he wasn't ready to be awakened. Heart is deemed to be doing well by the doctors despite the need for drugs sometimes.
This morning (Mon, 16/11) I rang the nurse at 10.45 who said his condition over the night has been stable with no real big changes. B/P is fine; heart unstable but nothing to be concerned about. Continuing to drain his body fluids - his face looks much better since last Fri ; his hands still swollen. They probably will test turning down sedation again today and gauge Edi's response.
Depending on which doctor one speaks to, each seems to have a different view on the matter of possible brain damage. Dr Barry Dickson whom we spoke to for the first time last evening felt it is unlikely that Edi has suffered brain damage. Dr Satchin with whom we are more familiar, in the early days said they had greater concern about brain damage than lung damage which they could manage."
