Hi all:
Thanks again for all the prayers and continued prayers. My nephew is still in a coma but docs told sis-in-law they are not discouraged about that as we all know people can be in comas for months! The fact that he has come thru all the surgeries is amazing in itself. They are going to put in a feeding tube and trach on Friday and will probably remove the monitor to determine swelling in the brain as there appears to be no swelling. Also, the nurse was excited yesterday as she told them he had moved a foot. This is the first time any kind of movement has been noted although he has moved his shoulder when Mom has been talking to him and his bp goes up a point or two when she's talking to him; so hopefully these are good signs. Obviously he has a long way to go but we are praying for a miracle! Thanks again and God Bless!
