Wednesday - Still in the Woods

As the title suggests, we're not out of the woods yet. Today was fairly slow with Ben's condition not really improving for much of it.

The doctors had said the chest xrays did show slight improvement in his lung condition so that's a positive point to take from today. His heart rate is still quite high, around a constant 120-130. They're going to administer some new drugs to help combat the higher-than-usual levels.

He's still got a lot of colour in his face however, his general mental wellness isn't the best. He's obviously struggling and the situation is still quite serious. We're keeping him going with words of encouragement, focusing on small goals that will mean alot when achieved. It's slow and steady but as they say "the turtle wins the race!".
