Friends are starting to hear word of the situation are making visits. At this point he is on a morphine drip to ease the pain. The doctor explains that the condition of Thau's heart is so rare that it's not known how long he can pull through. I hear about how Thau was involved with the details of his treatment in palliative care, where it is decided if any resuscitation procedures would occur, it was opted that none would take place. Earlier, Thau also requested to be baptized.
Thau was not eligible for a heart transplant due to the paralysis. The arrhythmia in his present heart was beyond treatment towards recovery. With no IV, his nourishment would only be what his mother could feed him in waking moments.
His mother has been by his side the last fourth months, processing medical information, keeping track of the daily care, updated visitors. Now she is pure emotion, Thau and her lock eyes every moment possible. She is singing lullabies, fixing his hair, continuously whispering sweetness and adoration to her son. Every clear breath Thau has, he saves to say "I love you" to his mother.
He is able to respond to visitors from Friday, and rested in sedation for the rest of the weekend.
