I got this e-mail from Linda and thought I would share it with you all.
Lastest news on Colin. He's showing improvement today. I came to visit and found him again sitting up in a chair. Good sign. Hadn't had a morphine shot for 4 1/2 hrs. His doctor says his labs / xray came back showing improvement. The infection has started move around, so it looks like the antibiotics are starting to work. Still no clue as to what caused this infection. He will be in ICU until tomorrow, moving him to step down room then.
They took him off the oxygen to see if he can breathe completely on his own and his rates are 89 to 92 (sitting still in a chair). That is not too bad but normal is 97 to 100. He hasn't been walking at all, so that is in the future and a true test of his left lung!
If no complications arise, he should be on the road to recovery. Doctors say he will be on antibiotics for months and follow-ups for 4-6 months. Thank you all for thinking of him and keeping him in your prayers.
Love, Linda
P.S. He has his phone and reads his emails. You can send him a little note if you want- CMAussem@aol.com
