September 19 Update 1

Well for the big slide back yesterday afternoon, we seem to be back to at least where we were yesterday morning. He hasn't done it for me but the nurse said he stuck his tongue out. He does open his eyes and move his head yo painful stimuli even though he is very sedated. He also moves his right foot ever so slightly. His temperature is better and he is breathing good so we will work the vent today.

He won't take a sedation holiday today as he needs a rest. Maybe tomorrow. He looks much more comfortable today and his pupils are equal. He does show some abnormalities on his EEG but they aren't super obvious as seizures. He is getting the lowest grade seizure meds just to be safe.

All of the reactions we are seeing are good considering the sedation he is on. I am excited to see what he will do on his first holiday. Especially now that he has the tracheostomy.

This is the worst roller coaster ride ever and I hate roller coasters. No theme park will have this one. Thanks for riding with me and helping me hang on. There will be an update tonight.
