After 8 days of living a nightmare, the Yugovich family is delighted to inform you that Tommy will survive and is on his way to recovery. So many things have happened today. I would love to share them with you.
The likelihood of the brain swelling is no longer an issue, so they removed the bolt/icp monitor. Hooray!!!!! This is big!!!! We have been doing the happy dance since we spoke with the neurosurgeon, Dr. Cindrich.
They removed the main arterial line which monitors the blood pressure. Yeah!!!
They have slowly decreased sedation and Tommy’s lungs are overbreathing the respirator and he is ready to breathe on his own….so they are going to remove the respirator tubes either tonight or in the morning.
All of his organs are functioning properly and there is no elevated white count…no infections. He has normal temperature. Yeah!!!
They are going to start waking him tonight through morning. Great news!!!!! When he is awake they will evaluate his cognitive abilities and motor functions….keep your fingers crossed that he wakes up and says “Dad, let’s get the heck outta here”!!
Overall, this has been a great day. We want to thank you all for all your love, support and prayers. Keep them coming…..the power of prayer.
Carol & Matthew Yugovich
