Still "Napping"

Tonight's photo shows a gift from Melany and Wade. They just returned from a cruise to Alaska with the last port before returning to Seattle being Victoria, Canada. We just had a cookie for our supper dessert...pretty tasty. Today has been a day of seeing many medical folk...not exactly who all, but it was good that I stayed there last night and was there to meet up with lots of folk. He is still a mystery to them...so far no explanation for what is going on. He s still very much asleep. He did open his eyes just a bit today and also started moving and did react to pain. We left about 2pm to beat rush hour in Nashville and at that point he hadn't had dialysis. It is still thought that he just doesn't have the sedatives out of his system...and he did get more sedative yesterday for the lumbar puncture...so he has had a lot of sedatives and he doesn't process them out of his body very quickly. They are waiting for him to wake up before they remove the breathing tube. He was "coughing" more today and they were suctioning out his tube more today than other days. They do say he have a touch of pneumonia and that may be the infection that white blood count shows he has, as no other infection has shown up. MRI was good with no sign of melanoma tumors or stroke as did the CTs show, The EEG shows no seizures. They did leave him hooked to the EEG till after dialysis as they want to see if he has one of his episodes during or after dialysis and see what that might show on the EEG graph. All his vitals are excellent...blood pressure very good. The Lumbar Puncture fluids were clear. So your guess is as good as his medical team's or ours! Just a waiting game at this point. Melany and I are home so she can take me for my cataract surgery in the morning...another early day. I'm sure that I am leaving something out, but you can get the general gist that things are pretty much the same as yesterday...just with more test results. He is getting excellent care. To be continued tomorrow...if I can see to type! ;) Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
