Still not much to update today, except that we all know James wants to take this recovery nice and slow. I think he partly just likes being waited on hand and foot, but I suppose he also just wants a break from the heavy duty stuff they did on Thursday.
Right now, he's relatively stable, with no de-sats in the last twelve hours, but he's pretty heavily sedated and medicated, with a pacemaker and breathing tube, and docs plan to keep him that way for at least the next couple of days. Their goal is to reduce his meds, pacing, and forced oxygen slowly over that time, so they can extubate him and he can begin feeding. Once we get that far, he'll have another few days of learning to eat again, and then we might be able to go home.
Here's hoping that James has a hungry belly when the breathing tube comes out :)
