Today Ben's made a very big improvement! He's up and out of bed, sitting in a chair. It really is such a big step considering he has been in bed for the past 4-5 days!
He's condition is stable. At the moment he's breathing by himself with just a little help from the ventilator. He's blood pressue (mean 100-110) and heart rate (11-130) are still a little above normal but due to the fact he's in hospital and on life support, it really isn't that bad.
Mentally it seems he is struggling a little in the new surroundings. Being awake for the first time without sedation is giving him an opportunity to learn what's happened and what's new. He's still slowly coming out of it but with each time we see him, and the encouragement and motivation we are giving him, he seems a lot better!
We're still waiting to speak to the Doctors about the health of his lungs and we'll fill you all in once we know!
It's been a great morning!!
