Evergreen and I just left the PSCU. Dad was quite lethargic, but wasn't completely out of it. The poor guy is just being constantly poked and prodded and yelled at because everyone wants to do something to him. In the 90 minutes or so I was there he had 25 wires glued to his head for an EEG, then removed with acetone. He had blood cultures drawn from two sites. He had his teeth brushed and mouth vacuumed. He had a neuro exam. And he had me shoving pudding down his throat. (It's good that he was able to swallow and eat though, as this gives an avenue for delivering oral medications in the near future).
The nurses say he is slightly less out of it this afternoon than he was in the morning, but its clear that he's extremely lethargic and sleepy. He's at the point where he can just about fall asleep mid sentence.
His SpO2 and BP are looking a little better, though I'd still like to see his blood pressure down a little more.
Thanks again to everyone for the kind wishes for his speedy recovery.
