He’s had lots of visitors today – thank you all for coming. My dad seems to have good spirits, despite the situation. He doesn’t open his eyes and his left arm and leg don’t seem to respond. But, he continues to make everyone laugh by insisting that we bring him a Coke. He even wrote, “Don’t come back without a Coke” and to “shit on the Dr.” when we told him that the doctors wouldn’t let us give him a Coke. But, this evening hasn’t been all fun and games. The doctor says that he’s running a fever and that might indicate an infection. They’re concerned about any infection because it could really impact his ability to recover and focus on repairing the damage in his brain. They’re calling in the Infectious Disease team to start running blood cultures to see if they can find any reason for the fever. The doctor also let us know that between the 2nd and 3rd CT scans the increase in volume in blood is minimal and it appears that he’s no longer bleeding in his brain.
