Greg's old Cocci doctor, Dr. Stevens, has been keeping an eye on his progress. What a blessing to have this man looking out for Greg. He told Wendy that he will be monitering Greg's charts and keeping up on it, if we have any questions we are welcome to go to him and ask and he will explain the medical side of things for us.
Dr. Stevens was checking in on Greg and discovered that he had signs of Sepsis- an infection in the blood. So they started him on the Antibiotics Super Cocktail and he is doing much better now. It only takes a couple days to clear.
Rehab is getting Greg up in his wheelchair when they can and still working on weaning him off the ventilator, but it has been another set back with the onset of Sepsis. We aren't discouraged though, every set back in this whole process has been a blessing in disguise. Greg's speech therapist is still coming in and helping him find other ways he can communicate with us and his nurses, he still isn't talking. As he becomes more aware of what is going on, he is increasingly frustrated- but we are understanding of his frustrating moments and know that he has a long road ahead of him. Greg continues to prove he is one strong and stubborn man, just the way we like him :) A Fighter.
