\n 9:11 AM<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n\n

Gabriel spent the night with his mom. Everything went well. <\/p>\n\n

We’re starting this fifth week in the hospital with a little more hope each day.<\/p>\n\n

And it’s also the second consecutive week with good news!<\/p>\n\n

We dare to hope for a discharge from the ICU (Intensive Care Unit) at the end of the week?<\/p>\n\n

Maybe a bit optimistic. But it feels good to believe it! <\/p>\n\n

The medical news is encouraging:<\/p>\n\n

The doctor confirmed this morning a general improvement in blood results.<\/p>\n\n

The gastric tube was removed this morning (one less thing!)<\/p>\n\n

Regarding the liver, liver markers are finally showing a downward trend, particularly bilirubin and transaminases (AST\/ALT).<\/p>\n\n

The inflammation is decreasing, although it still remains elevated (CRP at 18, with the normal range being 5 \u2014 we had gone up to 178!).<\/p>\n\n

Kidney functions are correct, and the urinary catheter should be removed today.<\/p>\n\n

Coagulation is relatively stable, although proteins remain a bit low. Gabriel is on heparin to help thin the blood. <\/p>\n\n

\n Morning conclusion<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n\n

Gabriel’s general condition is clearly progressing in the right direction.<\/p>\n\n

He remains fragile, but if the evolution continues like this, hope is definitely there!<\/p>\n\n

Yesssss! \ud83d\udcaa\u2764\ufe0f <\/p>\n\n

\n 6:31 PM<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n\n

This afternoon, they removed Gabriel’s urinary catheter. One less thing! <\/p>\n\n

Then Dr. Amanda came by and told us that:<\/p>\n\n

The lung continues to improve, but it’s still not possible to predict when the breathing tube can be removed.<\/p>\n\n

She emphasized that Gabriel is not like other patients, particularly because he went through ECMO, a procedure performed for the first time in this hospital. <\/p>\n\n

The kidneys are functioning perfectly.<\/p>\n\n

The liver shows improvement today.<\/p>\n\n

The heart is doing well, and the general condition is good. <\/p>\n\n

One of his eyes sometimes appears a little more swollen than the other, but this would be normal, related to position and blood pressure. Nothing to worry about, it should return to normal. <\/p>\n\n

The doctor also specified that the dialysis catheter will be removed tomorrow morning. <\/p>\n\n

As she was leaving, she even said \u201ccongratulations\u201d to him!<\/p>\n\n

And tonight, he graced us with a true space poop! The team had to change all his dressings: the one on the navel (dialysis catheter), on the thigh (former arterial catheter), and on the upper buttocks (pressure sore). An operation that took nearly an hour. <\/p>\n\n

Gabriel is charming the nurses haha!<\/p>\n\n

Good night<\/p>\n\n
