Update for Wednesday, June 24/09

As mentioned in my last posting, today thankfully ends as a "coasting" day. No further issues reared their ugly heads and Craig is resting somewhat peacefully. We can tell he doesn't like the breathing tube and is fighting it a little. This is a good thing as it means he is ready to get rid of it but this cannot happen until the final trip to the OR is over which is either tomorrow or Friday. We will know that early tomorrow. We talk to him and he opens and closes his eyes so I think he can hear us at times but hopefully he won't remember much of this. I am more hopeful today that Craig can get through this but the infection is still circulating in his bloodstream and until it clears out 100% the risks are obviously high. Keep the comments/emails coming as it provides great comfort to us and more importantly support for Craig! 
Bye for now, Barb

  1. I am sure a coasting day has allowed Craig to regain strength to battle back and reach his next milestone. It's encouraging news for sure! Is the dialysis helping to improve his renal function?

  4. Dear Barbara,

    Thanks very much for keeping us updated about Craig's condition and thanks also to Tiffany for helping to set up the site. Craig and all your family are very much in my thoughts and prayers. Next time you can talk to Craig, tell him that Francesca sends a big hug.
