The "mom" report:
Mike went to surgeryat 11:45am and didn't get back to the room until 4:30pm. They did grafts on his chest, shoulders and the back of his head with the donor site being his lower back. He was face down for a good portion of the surgery and his face and lips were swollen. He got new lines in place and had a bronchoscopy, which showed extensive lung damage. Bette says that the doctors say that if they can keep on top of the secretions and infection it will help determine the overall outcome.
Mike's urine output has shaped up...(yay) His oxygenation is at 100% but he is also on 100% oxygen. Bette says that there is a really cool sling that they have under Michael and it makes is easy to lift him and position him. Comes in handy for x-rays He is pretty zonked right now so let's wish him a night of rest and recovery.
More later
and so we go
