Day 8: October 8, 2011

Daniel had very good night.  ICPs stayed stable.  Temperature is down from 101 to 97.6 as indicated in early days update.  4:00am x-ray showed that his right lung had minimal mucus.   When Daniel maintains his ICPs for 24hrs they will take him off of full coma.  WE ARE THERE!!! 9:30am they took Daniel off the barbiturate drug (full coma).  It will take one hour to get it out of his system.  Watch, wait and monitor to see how he does.
Daniel did not take well to the change.  Throughout the day temperature rose to 101, ICPs maintained in the low 30's and heart rate up 105 to 109 (best range is mid to high 80's).  Right lung was given some concern with mucus. Suctioned twice throughout the day.  7:00pm Daniel was put back on the barbiturate drug (full coma). Throughout the night Daniel leveled back down.
