Good afternoon all. Geoff is doing great today. Barbiturate rate cut in half again, ICP's were in the single digits!!!!! This mornings CT scan showed there is still swelling on the right side of his brain, but the blood from the bruise is being absorbed nicely. Was watching his breathing and saw he was occasionally stopping (vent still breathing for him). Figured out that every time the paralytic was dispensed, his breathing stopped on his own. 30 seconds later, he would be breathing again. Scary stuff. I'm glad the paralytic is the next to go. Probably doing it because of the main line they are dispensing to in his neck. Will ask later, questioning minds want to know!!! Side note, grandma made cookie bars for the night shift last night. Nary a crumb to be found this morning. New nurse today, Angela.
