Whew! We are home before six o'clock on Friday, and pooped! We had a better day today...had a very good visit of at least 30 minutes with a second (and better) neurologist who was more realistic and honest I think. We will meet with him again on Monday at 11:00, and tentatively plan the next steps. Scott is still being very responsive with his eyes and some expressions, and just seems to so so close to responding...but we are not there yet. This neurologist seems much more thorough, and honest, and says that after 24 years of practice that you cannot predict the results of damage such as Scott has had. He also said that Scott did NOT have a stroke, no blood or fluid on the brain...just general damage caused by lack of oxygen for some short period of time. We will not know how much and specifically what kind of damage until he is more responsive. He is doing another EEG to see if there might be some slight seizure activity just in the brain which would slow his recovery. He has had no outward seizures since 11:00 a.m. Thursday, and all his bodily functions are very good...no infections, temp good...just a really good day in general. in those respects
So...we just have to be sure to give him plenty of recovery time, get him back with us, and work with him. He is young, healthy, and they say stubbornness, determination and faith will help...and he has those in great supply. Hopefully we will make some good progress this weekend. Right now I am gonna flake out for a few hours!
We miss being in church and class, and appreciate your thoughts and prayers. I will not update again until sometime after the meeting on Monday, unless there are big changes.
We love you all.
