Thursday, Day 24

This morning when I got to Archie's room he was sleeping away. Later when the nurse did some vital checks he noticed that Archie was weak in his left arm and his left side of his face is droopy. The doctor sent him for a CT angiogram again. The results were that the vasospasms have gotten more severe and that he might have had a seizure. They gave him anti-seizure medication and then sent him down for another angiogram.

The angiogram showed that he would need angioplasty in three of his vessels and that they were going to put some medicine in to keep the smaller blood vessels dilated. One of the vessels is one that received the angioplasty on Tuesday. The medicine they put in earlier had already worn off so that is why they are having to do the procedure again. So it took a while for everything to get done.
When he returned to the room he still was not talking with the left side of his face so some of his words were garbled. He did wiggled his fingers and squeeze the nurse's hand. For a little while he was trying to stay awake and didn't want to go to sleep. I left for dinner and when I returned he was snoozing. When the nurse tried to do some vitals he was sleeping away. Please pray for Archie.
