The doctors told all of us that when things look good expect something to turn the other way; one step forward, two steps backwards. He's been correct so far.
We came in this morning thinking things would be the same as yesterday with a little more improvement. Today's nurse told us that the draining line had somehow kinked during the night which didn't allow fluids from his brain to drain properly. As a result, a little pressure built up and he's a little lethargic this morning. He will be sleeping for most of the day to keep him comfortable. We're not allowing anyone other than family in to see him today. His heart rate, blood pressure and respiratory is stable and healthy. He's just not as responsive today as yesterday. We were told yesterday his breathing tube would be removed sometime today. However, that's not going to happen. We would like to mention that the staff here at the Neurological Institute have been excellent working on dad and we can't ask for any better treatment and attention. The facilities are very comfortable but the rooms are so cold. Mom is still holding her own, very strong and healthy. We shall see how today goes. Thank you for your prayers.
