Sunday Update

Not exactly a restful night for anyone. After taking his normal medication at night that allows him to sleep, apparently Dad seemed a bit too much out of it around 3:00, so they scheduled an immediate CT scan to determine if the bleed was getting worse in his head. Thankfully, not much had changed at all, so they let him go back to sleep once back in his room.

The risk of going in for surgery appears to have passed for now, and Dad is inhaling food like it's going out of style (likely mostly caused by the increased steroid dose that he's receiving via IV). It's now the "hurry up and wait" game of waiting for the doctors to consult with each other and figure out what's next.

An attempt for a shower was thwarted this morning with extremely fatigued Dad with little to no strength to help the nurses. I think they're going to try again this afternoon. At this point, we really don't know what is next. Anxious for Dad's normal physicians and medical staff to get updated and stop by tomorrow morning. For now, things appear to have stabilized a bit with the bleeding in his brain, and the swelling continues to be worked on aggressively by the steroids.
