November 4, 2011-- Karla's report

posted: Friday, November 04th 2011 - 10:48 PM Augusto is still making steady progress! His lungs are looking " a little better" and all other indicators are stable at this time. The doctors have ordered him to intermediate care(!) but he has to wait until they have a bed open there. Probably tomorrow. He was really funny today at a mid day visit. More sleepy tonight. In intermediate he will have more rehab, but also opportunity for more sleep! I don't want to say he's tough but, he has not complained one bit, doesn't ask for pain medication, and has repeated said he is LUCKY to be alive and is thankful to all his doctors and nursing staff for helping him. However, the nursing staff do occasionally give him some pain medication to help him ease his effort of breathing, and now, thankfully some night time meds to sleep. Thanks to all our friends and family! Your continued support is sustaining us more than you know. Love Karla
