Augusto is responding very well as he wakes up slowly from sedation. He responds when we ask him to give us thumbs up, or blink your eyes, move your foot etc.
Doctors are monitoring some pancreatic leakage at low output and will do a scan today to zoom into the causes. They say that most of the times the issue corrects itself.
Today he was put into the SPONTANEOUS breathing mode for a while for the first time since his Saturday surgery. They will repeat this this afternoon and so on to get him trained for breathing without the respirator.
The plan is to make the scans and act according to its results. They are contemplating the final wake-up and removing the respirator. Once this his breathing is stable and on his own, they will probably move him to another floor to start re-hab.
We are happy with these improvements, recognizing that we still have a long-haul ahead, but encouraged.
I will be leaving Austin at noon to continue our trip to warmer waters and will be in touch to keep communicating with so many of the friends and family. Kiko

We are so thankful that the news continues to be good albeit challenging. I continue to think of you many times during each day. He's going to come out ok--I know he is. Love Elena/Carlos and Alexander and Francesca.
ReplyDeletePris and I are so relieved with the news. Thanks for keeping us up to date with your messages. We both keep him in our prayers. I have told the men's prayer group that I am involved with about Augusto and Karla and they all are praying for them. One of my favorite verses of the bible is Philippians 4:6&7. " Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be know to God, and the pease of God which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. This is very hard to do but at the same time very comforting. May God bless you all.
