Day 15: October 15, 2011
Today has been an emotional day for family. Started out early with Daniel's heart rate climbing. Four times today it has reached the low 150's high 160's. Daniel was taken off his pain medication (Fentanyl) today, which has been a challenge for Daniel. They moved Daniel from his bed to a chair for about an hour to give him a different position. We were hoping today that he would respond to commands, for example asking him to raise his right arm or move a certain finger but that hasn't happened yet. He does seem to respond somewhat to voices in the room or talking to him, he will open his eyes part way. Along with his heart rate going up and down his temperature has been up and down with it. Some good news is, Daniel is breathing on his own. He still has his ventilator as a back up. The next step we are looking for is for Daniel to wake up with command responses and actions.

We are all praying for Daniel and for the family. You are all loved by many and many prayers have been said in your behalf. I am glad to have daily updates. I love you all.
ReplyDeleteI know your whole family has great hope and faith and we are there supporting you with our hope and faith. My husband's family went through this with one of his sisters quite a few years ago after a car accident so he has quite a bit of understanding of your situation. Our love, thoughts and prayers go out to you all.
