Well he made it through the first 72 hours. I am told those are the most critical. He has come this far and I have faith. I believe Steven is the toughest person I know. I believe he is going to make it through.
I spoke with Steven's nurse this morning. He had an uneventful night. No fever!! He is tolerating his nutrition well. He is now moving everything. His hands, legs, etc. His pupils are equal and reactive.
They will be taking him for an x-ray of his spine this morning. They have decreased his sedation, however, he seems to need it. Gets aggravated when it is decreased. Ya think?? I can't even imagine being in that kind of pain. Let the boy sleep.
His blood count did finally come up to 9.8. Took quite a bit of additional blood but it did finally come up.
Dr. Bennett, my hero, was there checking on Steven when I called so I was able to speak to him. His observations are...Steven is stable but critical. His Inner Cranial Pressure (ICP) is still high. His immune system is not good, so they are having a hematologist look at him for their opinion. His platelet count is low. He is minimally sedated. However he said he is HOPEFUL!!!! Me too!
Please continue praying...I believe the prayers are working <3
