Update 10/9/23 evening

 We talked to a doctor that said MRI does not show new infection!! The brain is slowly healing!!

Indications are sinus infection but we will have a better determination and a plan going forward in the morning after meeting with all the doctors. He is feeling better from stomach ache, fever and chills which is good. 👍

Now for another night in the hospital. Good times...👀

He was taken aback that Justin had walked into the cafeteria to order food! As part of his therapy and "get outta here" plan, he is cooking breakfast for his OT tomorrow! We let you know how it goes. Jovi saw Justin for the first time tonight in his new room and was amazed at his ability to walk and talk. She is still bossing like a big sis and he's the cookie stealing little bro.

Hopefully PT/OT will help tomorrow if they can 1 get him up. 👍 they're also installing the 2 pic line under sedation (not anesthesia) in the morning to be able to administer meds and draw blood more easily.   Fever and Blood Pressure still seem under control. 3 Sodium is still low  But with the pic line they can give him the stronger dose again.  4 Please pray for Justin's mind and spirit. I was able to understand he was asking me what happened, and it makes ...

Big Step! 8/28/23

 Well, good news! Justin managed to get himself sprung from the ICU!!! He is in a room in the Neuro unit with a window with a lovely view of the wall next door. 👍 But it is progress! He is very disappointed not to be going home, but this step in the right direction will help tremendously! He has seen OT & Speech therapy this morning and is now taking a break playing a video game while waiting for lunch, then PT.  He is not quite ready for visitors. We will keep you posted.
