Day 7 hour 23

Just talked to the neurosurgeon. he said he didn't want to give False hope but that his latest scans look good in that there is no new bleeding. Also, the fact that he was having trouble with the ICP (IntraCranial Pressure) and blood pressure spikes shows that he has some brain activity going on. His body is aware he is in an unfamiliar place and is trying to communicate with his brain. That's why things were shooting up. They are going to keep him on the paralytic for the rest of the day and get his breathing under control. The machine they brought in to break up the congestion in his lungs seems to be working and his numbers look good.
