Just a quick update here. Scott had another CT scan a little while ago and there are no changes right now. This is good. Every hour or so, they wake him up and ask him to do something. He has been raising his right hand and giving us a thumbs up. He opens his left eye and looks at you. Not sure if he has recognition of who he's looking at, but we like to believe he does. He moves around and tries to either sit up or take his ventilator out. All they want him to do is just a simple command and then go back to sleep. They give him more sedatives and within about 2 seconds, he's back to sleep. Right now they don't want him to agitate anything. It's all about staying calm and relaxed...letting the brain relax so it can heal. They are about to start his feeding tube and this way they can give him some medicine through it as well. As of now, we don't think there are any other scans or tests scheduled for today.

Betsy, thank you for starting this blog, I know when Glenn and jen were going through transplant last Nov. (another PKD benefit) that sometimes writing a simple statement at the end of the day was kind of soothing for me, and at the same time leting family follow along as Scott progresses. Diane, you and the family are in our thoughts and prayers.
