Just got through visiting with Landon and speaking with the nurse. Landon's face is swollen a little. His blood work still looks good, no signs of infection, and his hemoglobin level is now in an exceptable range. The plan now is to reduce his pain medications and then to wean him from the respirator as soon as possible. They have started the intravenous feeding. We asked if Landon would experience hunger pains. He will, especially at first, but he will get used to them and they will eventually go away. He will be able to eat and drink some things but it will not do him any good. Diarrhea and dehydration will be constant problems. As soon as he begins to wake up and they remove the vent tube I will try to get some video clips.
