Wanted to get into see Tony before the shift change at 7 but the receptionist doesn't appear to be at her desk so I may have to wait until 8:30. From the pamphlet they gave us about head injuries, it says the first few days is one critical period to make it through. The next critical period will last a couple of weeks or more while the brain continues to swell. I think they will continue to try what they did last night and try to get some responses from him and assess what kind of damage was done. The nurse last night had said that maybe by morning he will open his eyes.
His swelling started spiking so they had to put him under again before we had a chance to see if that would happen. We get a little bit of information at a time and do our best to interpret what is happening. As I keep hearing over and over again they just don't know. One article I read on the Internet says there is a saying in neurosurgy. " If you've seen one head trama case, you've seen one."
