Just got back from visiting Bboy and while "technically" there are few changes, the changes he has made are good and very encouraging.

He "looks" better meaning his color is what it should be. The docs tried to wean him off the respirator earlier today (because he is fighting it) but couldn't quite get the muster up yet to breath on this own so they are using the respirator as an assist. Later today they will try and wean him off again and this time I am sure he will succeed in breathing. After that they will discontinue the heavy sedation he is currently experiencing (again because he is fighting the respirator yet cannot quite breath on his own). Once the sedation is discontiued I am thinking he should rejoin the world of the living.

However, let us not jump for joy yet. The doctors said 24-48 hours would need to pass before they could really give an informed decision of his condition and while the first 24 hours have been encouraging, we still have another 24 to go before we really know what if any internal organ damage he has experienced.

He is opening his eyes, but behind them you see the sedation. When he wakes he will be in a lot of pain

I will post as I know.

Thank you Talula for posting an update on Bboy. You know we all are pulling for him to get well soon. I worry when there is no news. My thoughts were for him all day.

I don't say much on this site, but frequently visit. My heart is heavy at the thought that someone who has given so much support is not too well. I hope Bboy is on the mend soon. My thoughts and love are with him.

from where i am sitting, this all sounds very incouraging. i did healthcare the last 18 years of my life and all sounds as it is supposed to at this point. i mannaged ventillators for years and when you are sedated, you cannot get up the strength to come off of them. you really have no idea how hard it is to breath unless you don't have to for a while. we have been doing it so long now we don't notice it.

i am glad he is doing better today. i hope strongly for his full recovery. thanks for the update.

thank you talula for the update. it sounds encourageing but i am still worried about him. he will remain in my prayers and my heart

I appreciate the update. Bboy has been very much in my mind all day. He's far too young, and far too vibrant, for something like this. There are certainly a lot of us pulling for him.

Yes, the news that Bboy was better today was a great relief. The stress in this house has been great. Talula and Bboy are best friends and work together so it has be a stressfull 24 hours. I will also keep Bboy in my prayers. He is one of the nicest persons I have ever met, he is truly one of the good guys in the world.

I am glad there is some encouraging news. I hope he has a speedy recovery and wish there were more I could do. Waiting is always the hardest thing of all for me.

Dear members of this great board,

I just returned from a holiday trip of altogether 5 weeks, and I’m sad to hear those bad news regarding Bboy. I think the complete community of our great board is wishing that Bboy will recover and return to his old condition. He is the soul of the EA, and we all need he stays with us.

Just my small mind!

Talula, please keep us informed, and give him our best wishes for the recovery.
