Day 7 - 6am Update

Not much "new" news in the last 24 hours.

Sedated from the procedure on Friday morning, Phil slept most of the day. He was alert for the 5pm visitation, but sleepy at the 9pm. The nurse said he slept well the first half of the night, but was restless the second half. The new trach and smaller neck brace gives him a little more freedom and, ultimately, comfort. He indicated his throat is a little sore, a combination of healing from the tube and just getting used to the trach.

They will resume the weaning process today and we should get updates on infection, etc. at the 1pm visitation.
