Mama got to hold Rokie today. He came off the dialysis machine and we will continue to monitor his progress. We are praying he won't have to go back on dialysis if possible.

The medical staff is preparing Rokie's body to be ready to come off the mechanical ventilator and dialysis machine. He is now to a plateau where he is perhaps not getting better on the machines. That means the machines have negative effects that once necessarily allow him to get better. The only way to heal is to challenge Rokie's body. They are taking Rokus off the paralytic drug and he came out of it aggressive. He doesn't like the dialysis catheter in his neck. He is shaking his head and trying to rip it out by hand. Although that is not good, I am proud of him because it means he is still aware and responding as he normally would. Go Rokie!

Rokie was sleepy all day but his blood pressure and heart rate were up a lot. The doctors decided to administer Atevan to reduce anxiety which may drop his blood pressure and heart rate. Got a call from the docs that the Atevan worked. They will drop the other anxiety med.

Rokie's eyes were open tonight. He is coughing up a lot of phlegm tonight.
