Brian got his ventriculostomy: AKA drain coming from his brain - out today!!! A step in the right direction! He seemed better today. He still can't sit up without feeling sick, but he was more awake today, and able to talk better. He also had 1/2 of a 22 oz Jamba Juice (while in sidelying w/HOB slightly raised). And he kept it down, so that was great.
Being in an ICU is very difficult, and it is great that both Michael and I are able to be here to advocate for Brian. Overall today was an encouraging day, a step in the right direction. But progress is very slow, and I think the rehab process will be much slower than I expected . . .
