Is he still conscious? Is it safe to move him??? What does that mean specializing in terminal and fatal illnesses?....it's not like palliative is it? I'm sorry to be so on edge, but I practically lived in the hospital for a month with my Grandma, and it's just hideous when conditions constantly go up and down... I am so concerned about him... Please God make him better...he needs to be here!!!
Yes honey he is still conscious and he is more stable today than he was yesterday. Actually this is excellent news to me, in that kind of specialised hospital setting he will get the kind specialised infectious disease care I was telling you about. Still having a fever with bacterial meningitis is not so very unusual unless it's spiking 103 or over.
I am so glad to hear he is stablizing. He will also get the kind rehab he needs for the sight and hearing issues and the loss of strength in his left arm in this specialised setting. Seizures may be a problem but...Has he had anymore since the coma? the answer I think is no, he only had the one. Everyday he goes without a seizure lessens that possibility, but if they do occur they too can be controlled with medication. This is all excellent news all in all. Be prepared he will probably go through a period of depression about the disabililties where we all will need to remind him how lucky he is to be alive, to be able to be a father to CJ, to feel the sun, to have so many friends who love him. That's one of the reason I want to have asked Shea for an address where some of his closest friends here can send him cards and notes to help keep his spirits up.
No one is giving up on Chris, not us, certainly not Shea or his Mom. This is a move in the right direction. Rest assured that they will not move him until he is strong enough to be moved and when they do they will probably life flight him since Salt Lake is about 45 minutes away by ambulance and that;s a hard trip for someone critically ill.
Keep praying Hil, he's gonna be OK I feel it
