Today was a very good day for Michael, the best day so far!
By the way, I want to say this, I love my son! I love my son Michael, I've always been so proud to be Michael's dad.
Okay to the update... Today started with Michael's ICP rating continuing to fall. ICP is Inter-Cranial Pressure, normal is 1-3, I've been told there are times when a healthy person's will get to 10 or so. Michael's was as high as 39, it's been falling little by little but today it was consistently around 15 or lower. This was GREAT! Even better today was the first time he has responded at all extremities. Both hands and both feet responded to pain tests, he responded to a cough test as well. When I touched his eye lash he moved his head to the side. This doesn't mean that he is "awake" but his brain is responding. Thank you God! This is great progress, although I am reminded daily that there is often a step back for every couple steps forward. Today seems to be just forward steps! We are a long ways from being “out of the woods” but we took a couple steps closer to the edge of the trees today. I thank God for today. Again we are to expect days that will not be so good, but I'm thankful for today.
I expect a miracle, I accept God’s will and God's plan.
Ephesians 3:20-21
20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, 21 to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all ages, forever and ever. Amen. |
