John is out of intensive care, but he developed a severe allergic reaction to anti-seizure medications.
So, he spent last week in Connecticut's burn center, with skin looking like a boiled lobster. (Most has peeled off except for the worst arm, and there is no scarring.) He is still at the burn center.
John is very weak from five weeks in a hospital bed. And, he can't swallow, so he can't drink or eat. He is restrained so he doesn't pull the tubes out. And, he is confused and has no short term memory. But he is alive, with good prospects for a full or nearly full recovery. Once John can eat on his own, off he goes to a rehab hospital.
Keep praying and beaming those positive thoughts. They are working.
The best to both of you and your family. Hopefully, John will be dancing soon.

ReplyDeleteOuch, reactions to meds can be awful. Best wishes to John.
ReplyDeletethanks for the update. hang in there, all of you!
ReplyDeleteYou are in my thoughts, Jack.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds better news, Jack. I'm praying for his full healing, skin and all, and particularly for the return of his short-term memory and his capacity to swallow. He will, I'm sure, feel much better once those start coming back. Praying for you too, for stamina and resilience. Hope the news continues positive. I'm sure he'll be partying again one day. xx
