Progress?

We talked with David's neurology team. He's not Ina true coma yet because of the continued seizure activity. They are making progress on that and we got reassurances that the increased doses he's getting of the coma med don't have an increased risk of anything.

They do still think they'll be able to reach that seizure free coma state, they just have to take small steps (or med increases) to get there.

David spiked a fever. He did this yesterday, too, and it went away with Tylenol, so hopefullynits no big deal. Still, with a central line in place, fever = lab work, so he got poked in the foot and catheterized to collect urine. Because it had been quite a while since he peed, they just left the catheter in. They explained that the coma med can slow down the entire digestive system, so they use the catheter to help with that.

We also anticipate hat they will order IV nutrition instead of tube feeds. He hasn't had a feeding since 3pm yesterday.

He is not at all conscious. He didn't flinch with the catheter or blood draw. That's a blessing for sure, but hard to see.
