It's been a week now, and Will is still hanging in there, which shows his natural strength. Today, he's been trying to recover from yesterday's 'switch' event. They administered a paralyzing fluid, that has to keep his body absolutely motionless, to give him the rest he needs. Now, hooked up to even more tubes, wires and machines, he managed to look a little bit better and less swollen than yesterday. Good work Will.
Will's parents and brother arrived in Calgary tonight to support him in this time of need.
The lungs are still the focus of concern. The start of an inflammation was mentioned in the afternoon by one of the doctors, which is not a positive issue. Good news is that his heart is now beating on its own, but unfortunately not strong enough to start the breathing process. Let's hope that his heart will now grow significantly stronger (fast) to take over from the ventilation machine.
We are all hoping for some incremental improvements in the next coming hours/days. It's crucial that it goes better from here...
But remember, Will is still holding on. At every visit we all whisper in his ears that he needs to keep on fighting and can't let go to win this battle.
Please, keep on fighting with Will - and all of us.
Thank you.
Lieve Marianne, If there is anything we can do for you let us know. We hope Will 's condition will become stable soon so he will have chance to get better. Please give our love to his parents. Sterkte for all of you, Love Maartje
