Dakota Update: We are having a great day! He has walked the halls twice and pulmonary and RT is working with him several times a day. He still has about 8 extra pounds of fluid that are causing problems with his lungs and making his kidneys work pretty hard so we are doing scheduled to Lasik. We still have a way to go. His mental status is almost back to baseline and I think he will be fully mentally back to his “normal” in a week or two, whatever normal is lol. His kidneys are making terrific progress in resuming more function and the doctor thinks that all of the issues he has had with his multiple organ damage should be almost completely reversible. Yay! He has not had a seizure in 2 days so the medication is working. His blood pressures are finally starting to come down and this is the first day they didn’t need a rescue med to bring it down. His graph vs. host disease is almost in remission, he hasn’t had a headache in about 4 days and he hasn’t had much pain. I don’t know if I could be any happier. Hopefully out of the ICU by Monday and discharged from the HOT unit within a week from that. I hope this is the last scare. I don’t think I could go through this again. So happy and grateful right now! Thank you all for the love.
