Friday Lindsay Update:
We were called this morning and asked to consent to him having surgery on his right hand ring finger. He’s smashed it good and it needs pins in to help it heal. He probably will have limited movement of that finger in the future.
His stump closing surgery probably won’t happen for quite some time but they will go in and clean it up again while he’s in surgery. At this stage surgery may be tomorrow morning.
Tonight he may start dialysis as his kidneys are still not happy.
He will remain intubated till after surgery (when ever that may be) and then his sedation will start the journey of being fully lifted.
No fever now so that is good.
Saturday morning update:
Dad is currently in surgery for his crushed finger. Hopefully plastics will have a look at his leg as well. We don’t know how long surgery will last.
He started dialysis last night and will continue that after his surgery.
My understanding is that the goal will then be to reduce the sedative and eventually remove his intubation tube as he starts responding to stimulus.
I will continue to post updates in this thread.
