10/09/2008 3:30pm HST - Kimokeo is doing much better, but still needs to stay under observation until his kidneys fully recover. We hope to see him in the wa'a sometime in the near future and we all look forward to assisting him in completion the many projects he has going on.
10/02/2008 3:30pm HST - From Dottie: Our "miracle man" has been transferred to a private room on a regular floor. He has been making incredible progress but will remain in the hospital for about another week. His body has been through a tremendous shock and it is going to take time and a lot of physical therapy to restore his strength. Mahalo to all who have held him in your prayers. He has amazed everyone. I know that everyone would like to see him but please respect the fact that he needs his rest and if you have a cold or feel ill, please do not expose him to any new germs. Mahalo.
10/01/2008 6:30pm HST -Kimokeo is doing much better. He is off the resperator and he is awake and ready to leave the hospital. Although he does not have his kidneys functioning fully yet. The doctors want to keep him in ICU for a few more days to make sure his organs have recovered. He is drinking water. And he is not as jaundiced.
9/30/2008 9:30pm HST - the updates are getting better. He is making progress, his vitals are good and they have been cutting medications as his body is healing. They told us he is able to breathe on his own but will continue to keep him on a respirator under sedation until he can respond to commands. They don't know him very well, do they!!! His color is good and he looks restful. He is still on dialysis as his kidneys are still not working. The doctors are concerned about infections occurring with all the tubes, etc. that he is hooked up to so they are asking the family to limit visits to just family members. If you visit the ICU you will not be able to see him. We have to get him well without adding any infections to his agenda. Please continue to keep him in your prayers. The family sends love to all and truly appreciates all you are doing for him and the family. You all rock!!
9/29/2008 9:100pm HSTJust a quick update for the day. Kimokeo is still in critical condition but is showing positive signs today. He made it through a longer dialysis treatment and his vital signs are stabilizing. He is still in a drug induced coma on life supports. He is receiving a new drug that is being given to him over a 96 hour period. We are hoping it is a miracle drug and will bring him around. He is still in kidney failure and that right now is the biggest concern. The doctors say there is a good chance his kidneys will return to normal but he needs to start putting out urine. Please keep him in your prayers. They have been working miracles so far!!! The family thanks each and everyone of you for your support and for sending prayers and mana his way.
