Dear all,
Just come out of our 1st visit of the day, Barrie was really not very responsive again! He seemed to be in quite a deep sleep. I was a little concerned and managed to speak to a nurse during the early part of the visit.
She explained that he was breathing more on his own and that the respiratory was doing less and less, this could be the reason that he was so tired and not very responsive, I addition she explained that his antibiotics could also contribute to the non responsiveness. I asked her about the sedative medication and they again said that they are reducing the dosage, I am still not sure why he is not waking up! In my opinion, we seemed to be getting better last week until he had the operation last Friday. This seems to have set him back a little, anyway we are now a week on from that op and we must now look forward. The good news must be that he is breathing more on his own, it appears to be a bit of a struggle and this could be reason for being so wacked out. He has his neck brace off at the moment, which must be more comfortable for him. I had a look at his left lower leg to check out his external fixation, looks like something Chris Craft has put together, it is a wonderful piece of engineering, intricate but looks very sturdy.
I am now at the bus stop to get back into town, need to find him some decent disposable razors and some shower gel, as requested by the nice nurse, will also buy her a naughty box of French Chocolates.
That's all for now
Max
