Good Morning! As I mentioned the sensor is out and everyone can see the sharp haircut they gave him in the ER when they put the thing in :) He had the MRI last night about 1am. They will have a family conference with us later today to discuss the results. They are planning to do an SBT today. From what I understand that basically means they set the ventilator so that the breathing is up to him and then check to see what his respiratory rate is, see if he takes deep enough breaths and other things. If it's good, then they will extubate him, if it's not then well try again tomorrow. Just the idea that they are considering it is very positive.
They had the sedative off completely this morning, and he moves a lot, but isn't really awake. I want to make sure you all understands that even once he is extubated and not sedated he is not going to just wake up all of the sudden. It's still going to take a bunch of time and it will occur slowly. They will be looking for some responses first like holding up fingers ect. He has crossed his legs attempting to get comfortable which is a good sign.
Tonights nurse had a good idea, for anyone that isn't able to be here, if you want I can put you on speaker phone and you can talk to Liam. He can't respond of course, but if you want to talk to him so he can hear your voice it's an option.
I will post more later when we have heard about the MRI results. Just remember, it's going to be a long process......
