Another bump

Today, I have had another bump in my road to recovery. It would appear that I am having problems becoming alert. The intra-cranial pressure gauge they inserted into my head yesterday keeps going above 20 and it needs to stay less than 20. I am having another cat-scan done to see if there are any issues we are not aware of, and mom will update as she knows what is going on.

Other than the pressure issues, I am using my heart on my own, maintaining a fairly good bp with very little help from bp meds and my heart rate is running 112-114/min. The oxygen in my brain is reading in the 60s-70s and mom noticed when they move me sometimes I clench my teeth really hard. I most definitely am in some pain. Doctors here, though, will bolus me with pain meds and I will start to relax.

Other than that, today has been fairly stable, with issues with icp's, but hopefully the doctors will figure it all out really soon.

Love everyone, and thanks for praying for me.

Hugs and kisses!
