News tonight is in the realm of positive progress. he is off the face air mask and just has an exterior oxygen tube and a nutrition tube in his nose. he can open and close his mouth. he's doing better. coughing is good. he'll be able to talk in a few days according to the nurse. less agonizing all over pain. he's about where he is confused and needs things repeated.
figured out the lemon flavored sponges become neutral when rinsed out. i give him small amounts of water with it. the night nurse Jill, is really great and was even able to understand what was so bothering him (his throat) and got a throat spray prescribed, and alleviated some pain. another nurse is monitoring his lungs and clearing his mouth and throat with a suctioning device approx. every 4 hours or otherwise as needed. his first sip of water will be fantastic.
he is getting a good amount of oxygen into his blood. the blisters on his left hand are still very pronounced, but the skin is softer to the touch. not as taught.
