Not much difference today. Gary is being given Dilantin for earlier seizures that he had which have stopped now. Mia feels that this medication is keeping him more sedated than it should. She was going to talk to the doctor about reducing the dose tomorrow. He is scheduled to have a tracheotomy sometime tomorrow and we're hoping that will help him wake up. Some people that we've talked to said that following a surgical procedure, their patient came out of a coma. Let's pray that will be Gary! Otherwise, he's great. No problems except that he won't wake up fully. He opens his eyes and moves his hands and feet, but doesn't respond to commands. Bill and I sat with him this afternoon while Mia came home to be with the boys. She spent the night at home last night and plans to come in tonight if Gary is doing ok.

Please keep up the prayers!

Love and thanks, Bill and Nancy

  1. I'm glad Mia got some rest last night - all you caretakers need to be sure to take care of yourselves, too! Hoping and praying that the procedure does what it needs to do - keep us updated!!
