George’s biggest challenge right now is fluid on his lungs. Yesterday, March 15, 2007 George was able to sit in a chair and breath without the assistance of the ventilator for approximately two hours. George continues to suffer a loss of voluntary muscle control from the neck down. His prognosis is still uncertain and it is our hope that with time to heal and intensive physiotherapy George will begin the road to recovery. Once George is breathing on his own he will be transferred to either London or Toronto for therapy.
He was in good spirits yesterday and always has a smile on his face. The nurses indicated they are working him very hard during the day so they need to continue the no visitors rule so that George can focus his energy on recovery. George told the nurses that their physio sessions are tougher than his recruit class! You’ve gotta love those nurses.
George’s brothers provide him with constant support, humour and a positive environment in which to heal. George's faith and his optimistic outlook on life is the best medicine at this time. Even with all that has happened, he is still smiling.
To all his friends, please keep him in your prayers and have patience. Let the healing process do its work, physically and emotionally.
