David has been waking up intermittently throughout the night, about every 45 minutes or so. Sometimes he makes pretty decent eye contact, and he responds to our voices. He has been able to move his arms upon request (it seems) but not squeeze our hands. It seems pretty painful, being on the vent....
His responses are encouraging, and we're listening to Takk over and over. We're hoping he'll be more awake for the doctor in the morning. The sooner he can follow commands, the sooner they can consider pulling the ventilator.

My heart and prayers are with the Keyzer familly, whom I love dearly at this time when one so dear to them is recovering. Having been on a ventilator myself, I know that it is no picnic, and I can only hope that friend David recovers enough to permit that.
ReplyDeleteIf you read this David, and having known how close you were to first hand knowledge of whether or no there is life after death, I am wondering if re-thinking existance after the grave might be in order. I am glad that you made it through this experience and look forward to when I can see you face to face.

Not much has changed during the night with David's responses. A few of us stayed the night, speaking to him periodically. He has given minimal responses.
ReplyDeleteThey did a CT scan this morning. It did not reveal any abnormalities.
