Msg 03 - the latest...
Below is a fact log Curtis is working on and we plan on adding to it frequently. At some point we'll probably try to give you all an idea of the medications he is on.
On a family note, Austin and Amy flew in from Japan last night and they plan on being here for at least a couple weeks.
His nurses are keeping him pretty heavily sedated with Diprivan, a medication that pretty much paralysis his muscles and lets him rest. He has small "twitches" when they try to take him off of it and his nurse said these are small seizures. They took him in for a cat scan last night to see if there was any swelling near his brain, which might explain why he is having the seizures.
His cardiologist (a man who describes himself as the tall red head) is Dr. Ginkel. He has been great and said he would like to go in and repair Cameron's heart valve in two to three weeks, but they need to wait until his body has recovered from the brain surgery first and he can take blood thinners.
I will post the results of the cat scan later this evening after I talk to one of his doctors.
He is not "by any means out of the woods," according to Dr. Ginkel, but he is young and age is pretty much the only thing on his side. If Cameron were 80 years old, they most likely wouldn't bother, Ginkel said, but because he is only 30 "it's a completely different ballgame."
