Monday, Abby here. They put him on the ventilator late last night. the tight air mask was not doing what it needed to do. lots of phlegm needed to come out. when he's awake he is much more aware and his eyes look clear...compared to yesterday when just the whites of his eyes were puffy and almost opaque. he was hardly focusing. today, when he is alert, he's mostly expressing pain/fear /discomfort/distress, as far as i can read him, but at least he's able to express something.
i have been playing him music from his ipod. can't seem to locate the good  heating pad for his feet. they moved all his belongings to this new room 6110 west ICU in special patient bags. heating pad might be deep in the stuff archives here.
worked on packing for about 4 hours today with sunny. still LOTS  to do at the Glendale house. i will stay late if not all night here, and spend maybe 2 hours there Tuesday afternoon. Kris found her phone!
