Wednesday - He's still awake!

Ben's up and awake again this morning which is really pleasing to see. He is still quite restless as he begins to undertake another day without any sedation. The ventilator tube is again causing him a lot of discomfort, with it hitting his sensitive gag reflix and causing a choking type feeling. His blood pressure is stable and his heart rate, which was climbing when we left last night, seems to be back under control.

He has a big day ahead of him already having a Bronch this morning. Later on in the day they'll be getting him up, standing and walking, but not until this afternoon.

It looks like today is going to be a very productive day!

To my darling Jax and Family :-)

It's great to hear the progress that's being made. Thanks Paul for the upkeep on the dairy, the daily updates are very reassuring. You are all constantly in our thoughts.

Sending big hugs to you all
