Today ended on a positive note. We met with Barry's doctor and he had good news. The results of the MRI were negative which means there is no brain damage. He can hear people when they are talking to him and has been very responsive throughout much of our visit today. When we asked him to squeeze our hands, he did attempt to do so (though the response was very subtle), but he did move his head to communicate that the breathing tube was bothering him. Once the tube was adjusted, he seemed to settle down considerably and appeared much more calm and comfortable. The doctors are now giving him a new medication to help stablize his blood pressure in the hopes that this will make the wake up process a little easier when they try again in the morning. He is resting comfortably now for the duration of the night, and we are thankfully leaving here feeling hopeful and reassured that things will be better tomorrow.
Until next time,
Lisa, Marissa, K. Kinsman (thanks for the help!) and the F/G family.
