This is Tammy Seiler, Cliff's wife.... First of all I want to say thank you for all the support that is coming from this page. We greatly appreciate all the thoughts and prayers that you are sending our way.
Here is an update as of this morning;
He is still on the ventilator but on minimal settings. They are trying to take him off of the sedation to see how awake they can get him and see what he can do. The strokes have affected hos left side the most, he is not moving is left arm but can wiggle his toes on his left foot. Today they are trying to see if they can determine what caused the strokes in the first place.
They determined that the fluid next to his left lung is infected and are taking measures to combat that. The fluid is very thick so they are putting medicine in the chest tube to loosen up the fluid so it can drain out. He is still running a fever due to the infections.
They are hopeful that they will be able to take the tube out of his throat before we have to decide on doing a tracheostomy.
So far today is a good day. Please continue to keep him and us in your thoughts and prayer.
Thank you
Tammy
