His fever was still pretty high last night so they switched his cooling machine from a blanket to these body wrap things. He's got one around both legs and one around his whole chest. His temp is slowly falling and he's shivering a lot. He's still coughing quite a bit and he's on a general antibiotic for whatever is going on in his lungs.

Wednesday afternoon
Its interesting how quickly we adapt to a new normal and when things change its so scary. The port in Matt's head (which measured his ICP) came out this morning and the neuro team decided not to put it back in. This is a good thing, but now I cannot watch his pressure monitor and know what's going on in there. Even though they can watch other things and figure out what is going on, I just liked to have something I understood and could watch.

Dear Keri, Matt, Willy, Brandon and everyone else who is with Matt,
ReplyDeleteI'm spending Thanksgiving at Doug and Penny's. Barb's and Brooke's and Don and K.C. are coming tomorrow. You will be thought of many times. If Keri sends a blog, we'll see it. We miss you, but are glad you're where you are getting that care.
Love,
Grandma
Hi Keri - Kate let Rich know about Matt's accident and you have been in our thoughts ever since. Prayers go up for Matt each day. Rich is planning to stop by for a quick visit on Friday, so let us know if there's anything you want or need. And let us know if there's anything we can do for you. God Bless!

Hi ALL!
ReplyDeleteIt is good news the monitor came out, but I completely understand that you need to be able to see "numbers" to be able to understand or feel a bit better about things. You all will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers. We love you so much and are thinking of you every second.
Love,
Brooke
Oh.....and Brady sends his additonal love to "Butt" :)
