SICKBAY UPDATE

Ken Cox, FC3  GM Div. 1988-1991

Received the following excerpt from SuLayne Cox
   The word for the day is......Ecstatic!  I went to see Ken this weekend and I was surprised to see him without restraints, his vent is gone, he isn't restrained, and he doesn't have his NG tube.  I am not too excited about his color. He still looks a little yellow.  They were going to do the skin graft on his wound, but it is Ken we are talking about so they will have to wait.  He has a place near his pelvic area that isn't quite healed enough to attach  They put something on his trach that allows him to speak so he isn't as frustrated.  He is in good spirits and is alert and cognoscente of what is taking place.  He managed to be a comedian with the nurses, He has it together and is moving forward.  We are all surprised and anticipated good things.  I do apologize for not updating sooner, but as many of you know I teach and school has started for the teachers.  I will update more when I see more changes.
