Last week, his nagging cough got worse as did the pain in his foot. On Wednesday, Dr. Abou Alfa broke the news that the liver cancer cells were present in his foot and causing the problems. After a trip to urgent care on Friday because of difficulty breathing, he has been at Sloan since then as the docs wanted to keep an eye on how this was developing. It seemed as though Kanik would be able to recover without the help of assistive breathing, he made the decision to be intubated and go on a ventilator earlier this morning.
He is currently sedated and comfortable with Ling Fong and others by his side. His condition is stable but tenuous; although he cannot respond at the moment, the staff and docs are confident he his aware and appreciative of the company.
If you would like to see him or want to send whatever love you can his way, please do find him at the main Sloan campus at York and 67th Street, Room 1717 (see below for more details on the location). Visiting hours are 11am - 7pm.
More as soon as we know.
