Daniel got to go for a stroll in the hospital today! He was put in his chair and pushed around the second floor of the hospital. He got some sunshine and almost some fresh air.

Day 20: October 20, 2011
MRI results! Daniel's MRI results showed no shearing (shearing is where the solid and the liquid in a head injury are separated by accelerated force or heavier tissue slides over lighter tissue). There was no shearing, that's a miracle!!! The brain bleed on his right side is healing but is causing left side functionality. There was one blood clot and it has healed. Daniel does have a little bit of bruising on the front inside part of his brain. No signs of a stroke. There is a concern of lighting that showed up on the MRI which indicates a lack of oxygen to the brain. This means there is brain damage but we do not know the extant of it and it should be heal-able. Due to Daniels throwing up yesterday there is a little infection at the bottom of both lungs. Daniel was put in a stand up position in therapy today. He was able to stand up about fifty percent on his own! Still no limb command responses. We have rehabilitation consultation set up for Friday.

ReplyDeleteIt's so great to see a picture of him! And smirking none the less!! Yay! So grateful for his continued progress.
ReplyDeleteAlex also had frontal lobe bruising and brain damage from our accident. It's amazing how the human body (with the help of a merciful Father in Heaven) can heal itself! Our continued prayers are with you all!!
We are gone from home for a few days, but we still have to check each day on Daniel's progress, since he's such a big part of our prayers.
ReplyDeleteWith gratitude and humility we send our continued love and pleadings to a merciful Father in Heaven. Prayers are heard!
It was great to see a picture of Daniel...never knowing him personally. It's easy to see who his parents are... good looking guy! :)
We love you all,
