YAY Zane is off the respirator!
We arrived at the hospital this morning, for the morning visit expecting to comfort an unconscious boy only to find that he had just been extubated (breathing apparatus removed from nose) His little eyes were half open. So drowsy and very groggy but none the less awake and slightly coherent.
He was reacting to us! Just to see your little boy in such a condition is heart breaking. I do not wish this experience on any one not even my worst enemy( if you are reading please consider yourself lucky :) )
Well, the weight that gets lifted off your shoulders every time Zane reaches a new milestone in recovery is unbelievable.
As soon as all his pipes are out of his body then he can be moved out of ICU into High care. We don't want to rush it, as in ICU you have a sister looking after him 24 hours a day but in High care they just keep an eye on you, which is why Philippa and I will be taking shifts at night with Zane. Thanks Granny Lyn for helping out.
Here is a clip I took this morning of Zane.
Then I ran some errands in between morning visit and 3pm visit and when we came back at 3 he was a lot more lively and reactive to our presence.
We are ever so happy about today’s events and eagerly await his transfer to high care where we can be with him permanently.
