Well not much to report today.
The pressure in Dean's head was drained 7 times from 8 pm on Monday evening through 4 am this morning. The pressure is drained when the ICP levels increase for an extended period of time. His levels are responding after the draining process.
Dean was running a slight temperature last night so the cooling blanket was turned on this morning.
His lungs continue to improve. He is not handling his nutrition right now because he appears to be impacted (we say constipated). They were taking an xray of his belly today to see what they can do to start clearing that out, if you know what I mean.
Oh, almost forgot, they are turning down the peep (which stands for the machine they are using to assist his breathing process).
What they are looking for now is for Dean's reflexes to pinching, poking and asking him to open his eyes. So far nothing.
Baby steps, I am told...........

If baby steps is what it takes, then we'll accept that, won't we? Uncle Dave
