    I remember when I was most ill the doctors often told me if i wasn't getting worse, I was getting better. Fighting for air can be very exhausting. I and some others here had to be intubated for a week or two to get the necessary rest to allow some healing to take place. It is encouraging to me that he is able to maintain consciousness and talk with you even if he sleeps most of the time.

    What the ICU doctor said about infection versus Wegs is consistent with info I got from my Wegs expert at Mayo suggesting I treat the probable infection first in my ear and around the BAHA site before exploring possible active Weg which was also listed as a possibility by reader of my bone scan of my skull. It is possible to have both infections and active Wegs at same time but it is generally safer to treat infections first before beginning treatment for active Wegs.

    Glad to hear he is getting better lab numbers as I think it means he is getting better even though it may take awhile for his body feelings to catch up. Best wishes for more improvement.

    We almost lost him today. That over sleeping was not a good one. He continued to be very sleepy. The ICU doc came to the room to talk with me in perfect timing. God sent him. I saw that my sweetie's sats are dropping for no reason. I talked to him and he didnt respond. At that point the ICU doc and the team started to work on him. I was shaking and crying and praying, thinking that he is dying. And then he was back.

    Alysia, you were so right to be concerned about all that sleeping. Thank God you were there to catch what was going on with his stats and to say something, and thank God the ICU doc was there to mobilize a team to get to the heart of what the problem was. Very scary indeed, that these kinds of mistakes and equipment failures are happening. I'm praying that things get straightened out and fall into place from here on, and that he heads toward recovery from all these setbacks. You are a heroic presence throughout all this.

    I've been off the site for a while and just heard about this. Hang in there Phil, we are all praying for you. Stay positive, we need you back to dispense your great advise.

    Even in the best hospitals with great care it seems necessary or at least very desirable to have a guardian present to over see your care. I believe my survival was due to the constant supervision provided by my family who directed my health care when I was unable to do so. They can ensure hospital staff are fully aware of any important changes in ones condition and call for help when needed. Med errors are one of the leading causes of death (third in USA) in hospitals. Phil is very lucky to have such a dedicated guardian with him. But it is a very stressful job so Alysia try to take good care of yourself too. Is there anyone there to help support you or give you a break?
