Just went in to see him. He is looking better all the time, though it is still a very slow process. They have decreased his sedation medication from 40 ccs to 30 ccs, and his blood pressure is as low as it has been since we got here. It is running around 110/50, which indicates that the blood pressure patch is working well, and they can slowly start decreasing his sedation. He still has some swelling, and I am sure that we will have this for quite some time, because of the liquids they are pumping in to prevent dehydration.

He has started running a low-grade fever, anywhere from 99 to 100.2, until right before we went in to visit, and then it had spiked to 102. They had given him something for the fever, and the doctor has ordered and antibiotic to control any infection that may be coming on. He will get that twice a day for a while.

Otherwise, it still looks about the same. TIME AND PRAYERS!

I LOVE YOU ALL, for all you have done.
