Lee's night was uneventful. There is still some heart rate issues, and they are attributing that to two things: He still has the underlying infection (still be treated with long-term heavy duty antibiotics) that got him here in the first place, and the little vegetation (growth) on one of the valves that came from the infection. This second item is now presenting itself now, as up until this time, the rest of his systems were the priority. as the systems become stable, the remaining issues become clear.
Form Dr. Ahmed this morning (once again apologies, as I am not as expert as Nanny is in the interpretations/translations (She spent a few years working with the State Bank of India, and she has been here four weeks):
* We had him on CPAP test for quite awhile, he did very well, about 34 hours. He is back on assist mode, and he is resting well. Numbers look good.
* He still has the infection that brought him here, and when the Infectious Doc comes in, ask for more details.
* During the TEE, we did discover some evidence of a "possible" stroke. Mild, yet noticeable.
* At the beginning, when he first arrived, we did not think he would would make it, but thanks to God, he is where he is now.
* His lungs are doing well, in most cases, it takes some time for the drugs to clear out before we see major changes. In his case, we are looking at some extra time before FULL RECOVERY.
* His Rehab won't be here, but there are rehab places where this will happen.1020 -
