Bill and Bob
Two words...MORE SHRINKAGE!!!! The CAT scan results came back with good news. It looks like Bob's body is starting to absorb the blood from the hemorrhage in his brain a little at a time. Bad news is that the swelling has increased a bit. The swelling will continue to be monitored.
Bob continues to take one day at a time. He is now off both Dipravan (sedative) and Morphine (pain) and slowly beginning to make movements- especially on his left side and his eyes. Bob's heart rate still jumps around and his blood pressure is carefully being monitored. We believe the trach will happen tomorrow which should help with treatment for the pneumonia.
Tomorrow will be the end of week three in this journey. It all takes time and we are grateful for any sign of improvement even if we have a bump in the road on the way. Bob is fighting to get better and return to all of us. Please continue praying for him.
It was good to see his eyes open tonight, although he didn't really focus on anything. His heart rate ran anywhere from 73-103 and seemed to go down when spoken to. Also, it was good to see him with out the drain running out of the top of his forehead. We are still praying for a miracle recovery for God's glory! 2 Corinthians 12:9
