NEW SONNY UPDATE
« on: December 22, 2006, 10:41:26 AM »
And the latest:

"Hey, its me...my apologies to Gary for not contacting him today...they took Sonny off the ventilator again today and he has been doing very well without it since 10 AM. As long as he does well for 24 hours then they will probably move him to a regular room out of ICU. They dropped his sedation meds today and kinda replaced them with pain killers instead to try to get him more awake. He moves around very forcefully, and has opened his eyes several times today. But by looking at his eyes you can still tell the there's "nobody home" at least right now. We will just have to see what the next few days bring. The neuro docs have signed off on his care, they have provided the care that he needed and now we wait. What's done is done basically and when he fully wakes up we will get a better idea if he has any brain damage or not. I'm so scared. I can only imagine what he is going through right now. Any of you who know Sonny know that it's devastating to see him helpless and confused in a hospital bed. Anyway, I'll keep you all informed with what happens tomorrow. Thank you for caring....
Lisa"


This isn't great news obvously, I thought he was a lot more aware of his surroundings from the people I had talked to before. I think it's time for a Christmas Miracle.

Keep Sonny in your prayers, and my best to everyone -- Merry Christmas!!

Latest Update per Lisa on the vetteforum

Hey guys! Well The rehab doctor visited with Sonny yesterday and he
says that he is DEFINITELY ready to start that portion of his recovery.
They want to move him to the rehab floor as soon as possible but it may
take a few days for them to work out the kinks since Sonny doesn't have
health insurance He's been doing really well recognizing a lot of
people. I wrote down "corvette" on a dry erase board that we got for
him and showed him and he got a HUGE smile of his face and gave a
thumbs up. So, I know he's in there it is just going to take awhile for
him to come out! Hopefully he'll be in rehad by early next week and
they say he'll be there about 2-3 weeks and then home after that!
Unless he needs extended care after that then he'll have to go to a
nursing home type facility I REALLY don't want that to happen! Keep
your fingers crossed and prayers going for him to do well in rehab!
Thanks again everyone, and I'll keep you guys updated! You're the best!
Lisa
