Hello everyone,
I visited Jackson late Wednesday morning. He generally appeared to be resting, except his right hand and forearm were moving about fairly continuously during my 45 minute stay. This looked like an involuntary tremor. His hand was in a restraining mitten. The nurse Annie indicated the movement had gone on for a day or so, and the mitten was used to keep him from scratching himself or pulling on his various tubes and lines. His skin had worsened somewhat, with more areas of discoloration, soreness, and/or peeling about his arms and torso. Dr. Milch was aware of these conditions, and had ordered some adjustment of Jackson's medications.
Jackson still appeared unresponsive. His left eye was open slightly most of the time, but showed no signs of consciousness. When I held his left hand and squeezed it a few times, it felt like he was squeezing back a little, but this may have been an involuntary reaction on his part.
It's been about 3 weeks since Jackson had his initial seizures and became semi-comatose. I have a call into Dr. Milch to discuss where we might go from here.
Louie
