Hi, everyone…..

Michael was cardioverted again today (with the electric paddles) to try to get his heart to beat more regularly. This evening they did the tracheostomy and looked down his throat. He had ripped the breathing tube out of his throat and they were afraid he damaged his vocal chords. Things looked pretty good and the doctors said the surgery went very well. They will give him antibiotics to be sure there isn’t an infection after having the tube in his throat for 14 days. They have kept him very sedated all this time because he couldn’t breathe without the breathing tube but it was very uncomfortable for him. He needed to rest so his heart could strengthen.

When we first got to the hospital and I whispered to him that Dad, Chuck and I were there, he immediately tried to open his eyes, sit up and was thrashing around. He became so agitated that they asked me to leave the room after I was there 10 min. He was only able to open his eyes about 1/8″ and I could see how cloudy his eyes looked. He responded very strongly every time he heard my voice.

We are hoping the trach is only temporary and after hearing from our cousin Denise telling us her experience with a trach I think we were relieved. They will slowly wean him off the heavy drugs and he will be able to communicate. He has a laptop he can use. We don’t know how long he will be in the hospital or when he will be released.

Lynne has been there the entire time and his friend Alan is determined to stay until Michael is released and will drive Michael to our house to recuperate. There aren’t enough words to thank them for all they are doing. This is very exhausting and living in a hotel adds even more stress.

We are amazed at the number of people who are praying for Michael’s recovery. I didn’t know that many people in America still pray.

Thank you for all your prayers, kind words and best wishes for Michael. It made a very unpleasant experience bearable.

Thanks!

Elaine

Today 1/5/10 Michael is alert, sitting in a chair and knows what has happened to him the last two weeks!

I just spoke with the hospital nurse, who refused to give me info. She stated that she was a CCU nurse (critical care unit). That pretty much said it all. I can tell you that MS MED is a mess up — the reason he is not breathing well is because of the amount of sedative drugs they are giving him. He may not like the tube and he will want to pull it out (who wouldn’t) but sedatives affect every part of the body, and it is only logical that while they are trying to calm him down, they are also depressing his respiration. Sad state that mainstream medicine is in… thank you central banks for your affects on pharma and the med orgs. What a bunch of SWINE. I wouldn’t be surprised if he passes from this — and they will blame it on a previous “condition” rather than anesthesia, drugs, and the rest of the junk they do. DISGUSTING. He would have been better off with some basic emergency care, and then CaEDTA

Thanks! If anyone finds out more updates please post them here.

Hey, I am taking all these ‘take your meds’

you’re finally taking your meds?

Awesome!

And apparently the hospital doesn’t understand that when someone says “I’m ready to leave,” that’s the end of the hospital’s authority to keep them.

Hey, Mike Wilson, YOU contacted me! You trip over your own dick and then criticize others for your clumsiness! [Hey, Dude, been walking long ???]

Hey, I am taking all these ‘take your meds’ hits when I am usually right WAY over 50% of the time and often have personal information that 99% of the population does not have access to!

At the end of the day you probably do not care much of what I think ’bout you and your’s —– and I your’s, but I am going to let you get away with an undeserved snarkie remark ??????

Whom do you think you are, FORMER California Governor Gray Davis, Chula Vista Mayor Doug Pallia, San Diego Mayor Rodger Hedgecock, San Diego Mayor [Judge] Dick Murphy, San Diego County District Attorney Paul Pfinstincts, San Diego County Attorney Ed Miller, the ‘worst example of corruption in the House of Representatives’, fellow [shame, shame] Mizzou alum ‘Puke’ Cunningham ???????

Wanna shut me up ????? Point out my errors —- as I do with you! Ya got a problem width da thruth ???????

I assume that you agree with me that the Democans and the Republicrats have literally driven the nation of my birth ‘offa- en to the ditch’! But you’d rather jump on me than them! How logical!

Oh well, at least you do not ‘make it up as you go along’ like the devine Ms ‘M’ ……….
