Today is a big day for Daniel. 1:30am they lowered Daniel's sodium chloride (salt) from 20 to 10. At 5:00am his heart rate started to climb to 190. They had to stop and restart his heart in order to bring his heart rate back down. He was then put on two heart medications to help maintain his heart rate. 6:00am they took him off the sodium chloride (salt). The salt helped to drain all the extra fluid that built up from swelling. Since he was taken off the sodium they removed his antennas or the draining tubes coming off his head. This also means his ICPs are maintaining at a normal level. 9:15am Daniel was taken off sedation and his pain medication was dropped from 130 to 50. He is slowly starting to wake up now. 11:00am Daniel started breathing on his own and overriding the ventilator.
This afternoon was tougher for Daniel. He has had a temperature of 100.6 most of the day. His heart rate is still high but manageable 120 - 130. His pain medication was increased from 50 to 100. Wait, watch and monitor.
