Day 4: October 4, 2011

ICPs up all night long, 35 to 45 range, again 50+ is critical for brain damage concern.  8:20am Determined right lung was full of mucus and debris, causing lack of oxygen to brain.  Daniel also has a temperature of 101.9.  Right lung was suctioned to remove mucus plug.  Cooling blanket was placed under his body to reduce fever.  They also placed probes (which measure brain activity) on Daniel's head to prepare him for a full coma.  Medication levels where increased.  Remainder of day ICPs dropped between 11 and 17, this is comforting.  Daniel's temperature back to normal 98.6.  8:30pm 12 hours later Daniel's medication levels are slowly be lowered, due to his ICP levels throughout the day.
