Day 12 Morning Update

Scott had another good night. They have him off all his sedation right now but he still has a lot in his system, so it takes a while for him to respond. The surgeons did their rounds this morning and said he is doing very well neurologically. He's where they expect him to be, is eyes react normally and he is trying to move his toes and hand. They did another breathing test in the early morning for about 45 minutes and he did well, even though he still struggles a little bit. Since he still has a little temp, the doctor said that can make him slow to wake up also. They will continue to test for vasospasms everyday and I'm not sure if he has a CT scheduled for today.

We are all just looking forward to when he's more awake and then we can focus on the next step of treatment. Come on Scott....you're doing great!!!

    BTW it has been very touching for us to listen as each of the four older kids make sure to include Scott in their prayers that he will heal quickly and Diane and the kids that they will be comforted.
