I was hoping to give better updates on Tony's situation today, but I did not get to communicate with Amanda much and I was not clear on what was happening. So I withheld from posting an update as I was not sure what the news was. After thinking about this and realizing that a lot of people are hoping for even the small amount of information I am getting I decided to start posting what I get.
This morning I talked to Amanda. She was on the way to the YMCA with her mom who was going to take a shower. The hospital staff has been wonderful. They located some blankets and pillows for them to use last night and the three of them (Amanda, her mom and her sister) slept in the waiting room. The staff also was lenient on the visiting hours rule and did not make them leave. Amanda said the Nurses have been caring, compassionate, and informative.
She mentioned that 2 Doctors this morning gave discouraging prognosis about Tony's mental state. They don't fell that he mentally survived the heart failures. One, according to Amanda, lacked any bed side manner and was quite blunt with his negative assessment. Tony was still not well enough to be moved for a Cat Scan. They were still waiting for the Neurologist to give them his opinion.
This afternoon they will still waiting for the Neurologist to talk to them. Amanda however was very upbeat that her dad was recovering. She stated that he responded to her touching his foot. She also felt that he was moving one side of his body. I was very surprised by this sudden attitude change and I am still confused of what was going on at this time.
Amanda gave me a quick call tonight to give me an update from ICU. After talking to the Neurologist tonight, it was decided to take Tony off life support tonight. He is breathing on his own currently. I am not sure if this is positive news, Amanda could not talk for more than the quick 1 minute call. I am afraid that if she is not wanting to step out to give me a better update that they are fearing for this to be a negative move.
Please pray for God to do his will
