Not much change today.
We won't know for a few days whether the steroids worked.
The hope is that they will 'jump-start' his liver.
We saw some movement in his eyelids today when speaking to him.
We are hoping that is a good sign that he may be on his way to waking up.
CT Scans showed that the swelling in his brain is still minor, and not enough to cause damage.
His amonia levels are significantly down, which is a great thing. That is was caused his incoherence that awful Saturday morning. With the somewhat clear CT Scan, and the amonia levels subsiding, there is not much left that they think could be causing his coma, so we keep talking to him, encouraging him to wake up.
He is getting more dialysis today, and likely tomorrow, assuming he continues to respond well to it.
His White Blood Cell count was lower today, but that has been going up and down since he was admitted, so fingers crossed it continues to lower so we know that the infections are subsiding.
Many thanks for the continued comments, thoughts, and prayers.
