Wednesday Update

Keith has been in his new facility for a day now. Understandably, Keith has been a bit agitated. He is still on a medication and gets confused at times. A brain injury takes time to heal and we must accept that being patient through this process is a must.

Today a CT scan was planned but he was being a bit aggressive and was not cooperating with staff (Keith being feisty and not wanting to be where he is at). As such, they let Keith rest and planned on doing a scan later today. Keith was active and talking, but the injury has not completely healed and was described today as being “in and out of awareness”.

On good note, his respiratory therapist came in this afternoon and said that he is doing very well. He is breathing on his own and his blood pressure is good. They plan on adjusting his trach with a tube or cap that allows him to speak. He spoke quite a bit today the best he could with his voice and not just mouthing. The RT also said that Keith’s doctor is one of the best especially for these kinds of cases. If Keith is progressing, the doctor will remove the trach as early as this weekend so that Keith can communicate better.

In addition to Jenny, Keith’s mother Wendy as well as his brothers Jason and Darren continues to be by his side. The entire family has been thankful for Keith’s progress.

Thank God for the healing that has already occurred. Please continue to pray for Keith.
