Dad went for a CT scan last night, the neurologist hasn't been in yet today to read the results but his nurse said as far as she can tell there isn't anything that looks too concerning. Around 1 o'clock this morning the nurse was able to turn the strong seizure medication off completely. Again, as far as she could tell he went seizure free through out the night. (The neurologist will have to read the waves to tell us for sure.) When I checked on him this morning she told me that his his stats had been stable all night with the exception of a bit of fluctuation with his blood pressure. Through out the day today they are gonna start to turn his oxygen down to see how much breathing he is capable of doing on his own. Their hope is to get him off the ventilator as soon as possibe. Things are headed in a positive direction but he has a long road ahead of him and there is still the possibility for major complications.
