Sorry for the delay in updates; it's hard to keep updating to say that Dad hasn't been improving from day to day. Over the past week Scott has had visitors from his brother and his father--they went down last weekend (3/2, 3/3). Their update was that Dad seemed more frail than ever. He slept most of the time. The nurse wakes him to ask questions and he responds with a head shake or nod. They are not sure if he is clear minded or not. He's been sedated for over a month, so who could blame him!
The liver is still not functioning well, if at all. His brother noted that he will have months of healing ahead of him, especially along his suture line, which is healing slowly.
Craig mentioned that he responds very positively to familiar voices, which we think helps the healing process.
His father mentioned that his white blood count numbers were still high, his liver numbers fluctuate but are still high, all other vitals are fluctuating so it's hard to determine a normal level for Scott at this time.
It's a short, week-old update. I'm preparing another now. Stay tuned.
