Thanks for the updates Aman. Tell Stan & his family we are thinking about them as the holiday season starts. I am assuming he is still at UAB? I trained and worked in the ICUs there many years ago. If anyplace has the know-how to help Stan, its the medical teams there. Best wishes to him and his family!

#8 Update on Stan's condition- Since 12/1 until now:
As of 12/1 (I had type this up, but didn't hit reply)
Stan's blood platlet count that more than doubled overnight from 35,000 to 79,000. He's halfway to 150,000 which is normal. The tests they do to determine liver function show almost normal levels. They were able to do the "behind the heart" ultrasound that was unsuccessful before and it showed a normal functioning heart with no damage from the heart attack. He was opening his eyes, blinking, showing signs of emotion and he reacted when his wife spoke to him. They laid him flat and he tolerated it, so they were able to do the CAT Scan, which went well. The Scan showed No real significant brain damage, and his lungs are a little better.
As of earlier today 12/4:
His Brother, Rick and Curtis visited him, He's opening his eyes more often and reacting to people talking etc.
They're waiting for him to get a little bit stronger before doing tracheostomy. Since he needs to be on a respirator for an extended period of time, they don't want the tubes to damage the vocal cords. a Tracheostomy saves the vocal cords and is much easier on the patient. In addition he'll be able to talk and we can finally treat that busted lip.
He's still at UAB(C-ICU). I will definitely communicate your message to Carmela (his wife).
