Monday Update

Today was a big day for Bob.  He had 2 procedures and also opened his eyes a few times very slightly.  Although we have not received the reading from today's CAT scan I am extremely happy to report that Bob's cranial drain was removed from his head today!  Hopefully the decision to remove the drain has something to do with a change in the CAT scan....tomorrow we should know.  Today Bob also had his PEG tube put in.  All nutrients will now be going through this tube.  

For those that do not read the comments that are posted, here is an update that Bob's brother, Bill wrote last night:

I took mom up to see Bob tonight, because she said that she would sleep better if she was able to see him. We sat quietly by his bedside and watched the monitors flash and beep. His BP was a little high because the nurse had just suctioned his chest. His ICP stayed below 15 and was at 9 when we left which is good without having to open the valve to release pressure. His eyes were trying to open a little and he moved his left arm a bit too. The nurse told me that his neurosurgeon was impressed with his progress. We are still trusting God for a miracle!
