Doing well and moving out of ICU


His repair wound is looking good and has not ruptured, and all is stable. His sedation meds have been lowered day by day an now he is completely off it, and although he has been crying every so often, his condition is stable. He's been getting small amounts of milk and is reacting well to the intake, aside from a little bloating. Today, his doctors have decided that he is ready to check out of ICU, and he will be moved to the high dependancy unit for a few days, before being checked into the regular ward. So all is well, and he's making progress !
The only stressful news (for Blue Sky anyway), is that we've also now been advised of his current medical bill (yet to be finalised until he checks out!), and it is already about SGD 40,000.00 (USD24500.00) including the first emergency hernia surgery he had upon arriving in Singapore. But of course, he is well worth it !
