Thanks to Lauren who spent some time in the room this morning while Nan and I cought up on some sleep. She wrote the text below but had trouble adding it to the blog so here it is:
Written by Lauren this morning:
Wow, I can't wait until we get through this and can say "remember when...". I am sitting with Gabe right now, he is one tough little cookie. He gave the nurse a thumbs up this morning apparently, though was a little uncomforable so she gave him an extra shot of sleep juice. It's hard to see him so still and sedated, but the nurses say that is the best thing for him right now while the swelling in his throat goes down the the infections heal. Pete and Nanc you guys are hanging in there amazingly, but then, what are ya gonna do right? David the respiratory therapist is here and Lauren the nurse, David is going to suction him. For a gooey dude, he doesn't sound too bad....says David. David is happy about the Irish of the Mahoney name...never know what gets ya special treatment in the hospital! More later as I gotta go look for Pete's hydrate powder in the lounge....how does anyone keep track of anything under this much stress?! Hang in there Pete, Nanc and Gabe ...we love you!
OK, found Pete's stuff, docs just had rounds. Gabe is overall improving, ENT told lead doc that they would reeval on Friday. Chest xray looks worse, which is not uncommon, but means he is not gonna dtch this joint too soon. Can't take out the tube until the secretions from the pneumonia are manageable, in addition to the swelling decreasing.
