Hi All, Hubby is still in CCU, still hooked up to vent, and has been since Sat night. They will try and remove his breathing tube tomorrow, but as of today he is still too swollen in the throat area. They are giving him steroids to reduce it. there was alot of soft tissue damage when they tried to tube him as he was fighting in his mind for his life as he couldnt breath. The good news is they think he is out of danger, stable to be exact.
The Docs have come to the conclusion that the delerium he experienced was to to sensitivity to medications (he NEVER takes anything stronger than Advil apart from when undergoing treatment)
So you guys were spot on! No one will admit there could have been an error, but his reg chemo and radiation docs were extremely upset as they had put in the notes for him NOT to medicated with anything stronger than Ty #3 or codine, But Nurologist wanted MRI and was worried he would move about so they sedated him, the "quack" I have not seen since, but when this is over I WILL FIND HIM. Me on the other hand I have drawn strength that I didnt know I had, but I was told by DH's Rad doc that if I didnt go get sleep he would ban me from CCU for 24 hrs! Will update again when I have more news.
