Another difficult day for Daniel. ICPs climbing throughout the day. Concern with ICP numbers climbing since 5:00am 8:00am x-ray. Some mucus build up in right lung. He did have two hour blocks of nice ICP numbers 11 to 21 range. Otherwise up and down, high teens to low 40's consistently throughout the day. 4:00pm another x-ray, right lung full of mucus. 5:00pm suctioned out right lung. Oxygen levels good now, ICPs good now. Temperature most of the day at 100.0. Measures taken all day to maintain temperature. Not much progress today. We're hopeful his ICPs will remain in range the remainder of the evening. Our goal for Daniel is to maintain his ICPs no higher than 20 for a 24hr period. Then we can began to wake him up out of his coma.
Throughout the day Daniel was also hyperventilated three times (increased oxygen/breathing rate to help decrease ICPs).
Daniel's difficult day continues 10:45pm ICPs start to rise. Rose as high as 59 for four minutes.
Sorry to hear he had a rough day. We will keep
ReplyDeletePraying that he gets stronger each day and
That his numbers will be stable and that he can
Wake up soon. LOVE YOU ALL.

ReplyDeleteDear Matt and Becky,
ReplyDeleteTJ and I attended a session at the Las Vegas Temple yesterday, where we placed Dan's name on the prayer roll. Scarcely a moment goes by when we are not thinking of and praying for you and Dan. We love you.
Matt and Becky,
ReplyDeleteI echo those previous posts. I am also checking several times a day for updates and constantly have you and Daniel in my thoughts and prayers.
I just wanted you to know that tonight when I attended the Scout Roundtable, I was asked to give an update on Daniel's progress and had several people ask me to convey to you that your family is being prayed for. One gentleman (from the CF troop), who's son played baseball with Daniel when they were younger, asked me to tell you that the word has spread all the way to MSU and Billings! Daniel is loved and thought of by so many!!
I hope that you are feeling the peace and comfort that we have all been praying for. It's hard to imagine that you can find it at such a time, but I know from experience, that that is when it is felt the strongest!
We will continue to pray and hope. We love you guys!!
