As Natalie
had not been for a while she recognized that Barrie’s
right eye has become less swollen and his whole body
seems less puffed up, this has mostly been assisted
by the Dialysis machine getting rid of lots of excess
water that his body was retaining. He had jumped up
an additional 30 kg from his normal weight, this is
now reducing everyday and hopefully soon be back to
normal.
He was again very tired due to his battle for breathing on his own, which he is slowly winning and each day more and more he is breathing more for himself, however it will be several weeks before he comes off the respirator completely. This ‘fight’ for breath he making him very tired.
Sleeping and not moving is probably the best thing right now ,as the longer he remains still his back and neck fractures are healing and hopefully by the time he wakes up properly he will at least have these fractures sorted out.
Natalie has not haven him his I pod and a set of speakers down there, so he will have his favorite Jazz/Blues whatever music to keep him company in between visits, hopefully this will not only comfort him but also help to bring him around sooner.
More to follow on today’s visits later.
