Henry had a fairly relaxing day today. While the ventilator is getting more agitating in his throat, his meds have changed and the cloudiness in his eyes is starting to clear up. He is still strapped down to keep him from hurting himself or removing the breathing tubes.
He is not scheduled for any procedures tomorrow and hopefully gets some more rest and strength.
Friday he is scheduled for another cleaning and the ventilator will get moved to his throat. This will minimize some of the risks with staying on a ventilator. It will also, eventually, allow him to talk.
The next pelvis surgery should be early in the week.
The family was told today not to expect him to come home before Thanksgiving.

30 June AM
Henry had a short procedure this morning to insert a small umbrella-like object into one of the veins returning to his heart. This will catch any air bubbles that may come from his leg to avoid further complications. Everything went well and he is recovering.
He has been heavily sedated since the surgery yesterday. It was a major event though and he needs the rest.
