Sunday Morning

Just wanted to let everyone know that Daniel has opened his eyes several times. He cannot focus them yet, but they are opening. They have also had to restrain his arms because he is fighting and trying to pull out his tubes! These are all great signs and we know that the fasting and prayers are working.

We had kind of a scare last night because Daniel went down for a second MRI. When the were transferring him from the MRI table to his bed, he had another Seizure. It lasted for 2 or 3 minutes. The neurologist was notified, and he was placed on a third anti seizure medication.

His temperature is down quite a bit to a normal temp, and they don't even have ice bags under his arms anymore, so that means the antibiotics are working.

We are really hoping that today is the day that Daniel wakes up.

PS - the MRI last night still didn't show any areas that were negatively effected by loss of oxygen. This is AMAZING!

  4. We are so happy to hear about the progress Dirty is making. I love being able to check on him throughout the day through this blog. Can you pleae post the address to send a card to. The time I saw Daniel laugh the most, was when we were in Cancun and he almost made me crash on our 4 wheelers that we were driving through the jungle. He was "splurting" so much mudd on me with the wheels of his 4 wheeler, (and it was all on purpose) that I could barely see and almost crashed into a tree. He thought it was so funny and was laughing so hard that he almost crashed. He always says he saw a finger of mine go up at him, I don't remember that however, I was just scared to death. As a nurse, I know for certainty that patients can hear what is going on around them and what is being said. I am sure he loves having all his sisters sing to him. Stay strong. Tell him we love him.
