Brody is more alert this morning and his pupils are reacting faster to light. He is tracking more (moving eyes left to right) instead of that absent stare where he seems to look through you. His movements seem to be mostly involuntary at this point...similar to when you are lying in bed nearly asleep and you suddenly kick or have a spasm. As for his kidneys, the function appears to be trending downward still. We will meet with Nephrology to discuss possibly starting dialysis and/or begin screening family for donor matches. We are less than 48 hours out since the horrific event and we just don't yet know how substantial his injuries really are. We are hopefully pessimistic. And the most unsettling thing is that we still do not know what caused the event to begin with. A blockage in his trach... a severe asthma attack... a seizure? Although Joss did everything exactly as we are trained to do, he still blames himself and is really having a hard time. Prayers all around!
