Dr came in he said hole in lung has healed up and it’s been a few days. He says pneumothorax is slightly worse today but better than several days ago, he expects it to go back and forth. He said that he thinks the lungs at this point are not the limiting factor at this point and he is optimistic they will heal. They did ultrasound of his liver and spleen today just to check (results pending). He also said Seth looks like he is coming to himself and is starting to show facial expressions. His respirator shows that he is breathing 70 ml of air. We need that to start hitting triple digits.
Removed EEG, so that means they can shampoo his hair sometime.
Ideally, sedatives will be worn off within next day or two and Seth will be awake and conscious. He’ll likely be very disoriented and not himself. After getting to assess his brain while awake, they’ll move forward on what to do and whether or not to keep him off sedation. Nurses and Drs also noted that Seth is blinking a lot more with his eyes closed since last night.
On another note, orange chicken is being served in the cafeteria today. Seth would enjoy that!
