Sleeping Beauty

So, I had this idea that waking up over two days involved a lot of in and out of sleep and grogginess. It still might involve that, but after talking with the night nurse, I realized they don't really expect him to start moving until maybe this afternoon.

However, there are all kinds of signs that he's moving toward waking up. His brain activity is nearly constant now (there was only very sporadic activity in the coma state). It also, to my untrained eye, looks seizure free.

The nurse reports he took a couple of isolated breaths on top of the breathing tube, which is a sign that his body is waking up and thinking about doing its own breathing.

So there are a lot of encouraging signs today. Mic the nurse's prediction is right, there won't be much to update today, but he's still doing fine.
