Day 39: Thursday 31/05/2012

They are going to start the weaning off process today. Even though Sergio is able to fully open his eyes, he is so heavily sedated that he is drifting in and out of consciousness all the time. Hopefully by tonight, Sergio will become a little bit more alert as the dosage of his medication decreases. The doctors are saying that it’s difficult to predict when Sergio will fully come out of his coma as each child takes a different amount of time to do so. While his eyes were opened, I played some quiet nursery songs for him but his heart rate went through the roof immediately. It was an instant reaction with his whole body wiggling in the bed. You could tell that he was really trying to come around. I had to quickly put the fiddle away as it’s still a bit too early for him to be so active. The doctors have promised to keep a closer eye on him as he comes slowly around.

Los medicos van a empezar el proceso de reducir las drogas que esta tomando en la actualidad.. A pesar de que Sergio es capaz de abrir por completo sus ojos, él está tan fuertemente sedado que su conciencia viene y va todo el tiempo. Esperemos que esta noche, Sergio este un poco más alerta al disminuir las dosis de sus medicamentos. Los médicos opinan que es difícil predecir cuando Sergio plenamente saldrá del coma ya que a cada niño le lleva un tiempo diferente de para hacerlo. Mientras sus ojos se abrieron, he tocado algunas canciones infantiles tranquilas para él, pero su ritmo cardíaco se disparo inmediatamente. Fue una reacción instantánea, todo su cuerpo retorciéndose en la cama. Se podría decir que en realidad estaba tratando de entrar en razón. Tuve que poner rápidamente el violín lejos, ya que es todavía un poco demasiado pronto para que él sea tan activo. Los médicos van a  mantener un mejor control sobre él mientras que Sergio en estas semanas va  reacionando poco a poco.
