SICKBAY UPDATE

Cox, Ken

  I know that it has been a few days since I last sent an update and I do apologize.  Ken is still sedated and considered critical, but stable.  He had a tracheotomy done earlier this week and they placed the vent there.  He appears to be healing, but please continue to pray for him.  I remained at the hospital until yesterday when I decided that he was stable enough to come home and sleep in a bed.  I have checked on him by phone all night and day and he is still in the same shape.  They changed his wound vac and his illiostomies yesterday and those were looking good and healing well.  I am only hoping that he is going to continue to rest.  I can only speculate what he is going to do when he realizes how long he has been in ICU.   There have been so many things I don't think either of us were prepared to deal with, but with God's help I KNOW that we will get through it.   I am going to return to the hospital tomorrow, but wanted to take a few minutes between naps and e-mail an update.  Thank you for your prayers

SuLayne Cox
