Things are slowly progressing. He's still in a coma, but he's relying less and less on medicinal support. During the past few days, they've been slowly taking him off of the sedatives and IV drips. There is nothing medically keeping him from waking up at this point. It looks as if he's getting close to being stable enough to be moved out of ICU and into a facility that specializes in weening patients off of ventilators.

Although the fever persists, they are now confident that there are no infections and he is probably just septic, which is not unusual.  He's getting potassium to fight it. Blood pressure and breathing are solid, and they will hopefully be removing all those electrodes that were monitoring his seizures from his head by Monday.

All the nurses have commented on how dashing and handsome he looks with a shaved head, so its a look I will encourage him to keep when he wakes up.

The visits, notes, cards and prayers are appreciated. Keep him in your thoughts!
