Day 12: Ocotober 12, 2011

I would like to start off today by explaining a couple of procedure steps. Barbiturate coma (full coma) this is the coma that puts Daniel's head and brain at rest.  This portion of the coma he was taken out of yesterday.  Medical induced coma pertains to his body, which puts his body into a paralytic coma.  So he doesn't have to worry about breathing and body functions.  The next step is a lesser drug where his body is sedated.  The last step is where he will be taken out of sedation and woken up.  With all of that said, barbiturate coma off yesterday.  TODAY 9:00am Daniel was taken off the medical induced coma (paralytic coma).  Approximately 24hr period for that to wear off.  He is still in a sedated state.  Daniel has done well today, a little bit of a temperature 101 but coming down.  ICP's maintaining.  He was taken off blood pressure medicine.  Tomorrow they will begin the tests for brain functions, taking him in and out of sedation.  Let us share this with you, Daniel yawned three times and while having his head cleaned by the nurse raised an eyebrow, while he was coming down off the medical induced coma (paralytic coma).  Today is a great day.

    Morgan is finally smiling! The daily updates have been such a blessing to him and us. Morgan told us one of Daniel's favorite things to say about getting hurt is "put some dirt on it"! There has been a lot of dirt used on Daniel - ha ha! We're all praying dearly for Daniel and all the family!! Miss you tons Becky! Love the Bodily Family
