I was able to see Scott and spend several hours with Wendy and him in Fontana. Last night was a little rough. They did not give Scott any pain meds or sedatives during his transport so when he got to Kaiser he was really uncomfortable. Wendy, Amie and I were there for 5 hours, during all of which he was very agitated and not able to rest. As the night wore on they were able to increase his meds until he was less restless and more comfortable.
This morning was much better! Scott was so much more relaxed and comfortable. He has great nurses caring for him and Wendy feels very at peace with the care he is getting there.
Scott is so strong! He was trying his hardest to sit up and talk. The type of trach Scott has right now prohibits him from speaking. So, it was a struggle to get him to relax. For this reason, Wendy asks that those who are planning to come see him please wait a few more days. It's still a little too much stimulation for him right now.
