This morning Britt went down for a CT scan, and then had the operation to put in the shunt, and then back down for another CT scan, and an x-ray as well. It all went perfectly smooth. The doctor said it was one of the easiest shunts he had ever done! Britt looks like a completely different man without any drains coming our of his head! He looks so good. The swelling from the surgery has also gone down quite a bit. He is back on the vent today, they will probably alternate back and forth between the oxygen mask and the vent. Now we just need him to open those eyes and wake up already!! All of his numbers have stayed really good, except for his blood pressure, it has been a little higher than they would like, so they are keeping a close eye on that. His pupils still aren't responsive, or dilating much, one of them is a lot larger than the other. They still are unsure of what that might mean, as far as brain activity. He is still responding to painful stimulus pretty well. So all in all, things are going well! Thank you for all your prayers, and service:) We love you. Britt loves you. Don't stop believing!!!!
This was Britt's very 1st club baseball game and his very 1st at bat. It was a single through the middle and I snapped this picture while I was coaching 1st base.
ReplyDeleteSuch great news, Amazed everyday at his strength. Soon very, soon I am going to read about the very moment he wakes and sees you all there with him. Looking forward to that day
ReplyDeleteYou don't really know me because I go to Dixie, but all of my friends were good friends with your brother.. So I'm going to say this: On behalf of Dixie High School (2014 Football State Champs baby!) We want to dedicate our hard-earned and hard-worked game to your brother and your family. He is our prayers. Hope everything goes alright. :)
