Thursday


Thursday was a long day of just waiting.  At around 10:30 Thursday morning they reduced Marty's sedative.  They were trying to get him to wake up. He had an EEG Thursday morning (this monitors electrical activity in the brain and also looks to see if he's having any seizures). Everything looks good so far but because he was still sedated they are hoping to repeat this Friday, with Marty not being sedated, to see if they can see any seizure activity.  


At 5 pm, Thursday, the nurse drew some blood, suctioned his lungs and checked his vitals.  When she lifted the sheet off his feet he moved his toes, then she asked Marty to wiggle his toes which he did. 

After supper on Thursday, Marty started to have some laboured breathing again, so he was put on a different sedative. This sedative has him resting and he seems settled and his breathing is easier. 

Erica went home mid-afternoon on Thursday, to be reunited with her kids.
