Tim's brain pressure is still real good, 9-10. Not much has changed as far as his abilities. Donna and I talked to the doctor and here's the deal. Tim will be getting a Tracheotomy tomorrow. They ran a respiratory test on him this afternoon, and his lungs do not quite pass the test that allows him to be without a respirator. We wish he didn't have to go through this, but at least he will no longer have tubes in his mouth going down his throat. He has really been fighting that. They are going to run a "head to foot" CAT Scan on Tim tonight. They are looking for any infection or abnormality that would hinder his healing and recovery. They will take blood cultures tomorrow in addition, the results from these will take 72 hours.
8:00pm - Tim is still doing about the same. The bolt (sensor to measure his brain pressure) has been removed. So I will no longer be reporting that number. One thing I noticed is that after Tim raises his left arm (which he has been doing for days now), he will then shake his hand like he's trying to shake off the restraints. Kind of funny and encouraging to watch.
