Greetings with good news: Augusto has been improving much as he wakes up from sedation. First let me start with Monday’s activities. Augusto had a CT Scan of the abdomen area, where we know the Pancreas is leaking at a low output. As I mentioned before, when the output is low the doctors expect it to heal itself, so they are monitoring this drain. The scan did show that the Pancreas was somehow damaged in the accident. The second issue the scan showed was not known to us before. This is that somehow one of the adrenal glands was also damaged. The doctors do not think this will have more consequences.
At the same time on Monday, they also made a scan of his head, because they wanted to make a neurological assessment. They found some fluid in the brain but nothing unexpected. They think that this fluid will be re-absorbed by the brain and do not think there will be other consequences.
The good news is that Augusto was “waked up” by stopping the sedatives, and he made several signs of being aware. He can’t talk due to the respirator pipe he has in his throat, but he did indicate he recognized Anita (Jose’s wife) and, by pointing at pictures shown to him, he communicated that he wanted to watch TV. Next he indicated that the channel that first came on was not to his liking, and Karla said that the Travel Channel was his favorite. When that came on, he recognized the host, etc. This is the best news of his ability to communicate that we have heard so far.
Karla, is, as I write, undergoing surgery to repair her fractured left orbital bone. She will spend tonight (Wed.) at the hospital and will probably return home tomorrow. We all wish Karla the quickest recovery from this.
Stay tuned for more good news, Kiko
