Sunday - Rest Period

Ben's still heavily sedated and sleeping. They've increased the oxygen flow and the level of PEEP in hope that lungs will stay expanded and the PEEP will naturally occur by itself.

He has moments where he is slowly waking up, although once awake he appears quite agitated (most definitely because of the tube down his throat hitting gag reflexes). Once agitated his blood pressure and heart rate start to climb and become irregular. To keep this under control they supply a further dose of sedatives to help calm him.

Although not much has changed in Ben's condition the situation is still immensely positive!
