It has been a freaking month!

I am having a hard time wrapping my brain about the fact that we have been at Baylor for a month tonight. That is crazy!

Archie was up last night for a few hours in the early morning because he decided to nap from 4-8 pm. He went for a CT angiogram this morning at 8 am and then took a nice three hour nap. The radiologist reviewed the CT angiogram and said that the vasospasms are declining. We are on the downhill slope but there is still a chance that more will start up again but the more days that pass means the less likely they are to start up again. Archie's neurosurgeon said that there is no change and he is doing good. The doctor did lower his blood pressure a little which is good. Since the vasospasms got severe on Tuesday the doctor had wanted to top number of his blood pressure from 160-180. Today he lowered that parameter to 140-160 which is a good thing because it was challenging for them to keep it up that high. Archie did get out of bed today and sit in the chair for 20 minutes. It has been over a week since he has gotten out of bed so I was super excited about that. Archie's bruises in his face are turning yellow and green where it isn't too bad but he still has some big black bruises. He is able to finally open his left eye which is amazing because it has been swollen shut for over week, he is showing everyone his new trick.

The good news is that Archie finally believes we are in Dallas. He looked at my iPad and apparently that worked. Although I am still a little confused on why doing that on my iPhone didn't work but whatever. The bad news is that he is asking every nurse, doctor and visitor if he is going to be able to go home today. I have tried to tell him that we are going to be here a while but he wants no part of that. Plus, I look like the bad guy for telling him the truth although if I told him we can go home he would hop out of bed and be ready.  I am praying tomorrow is another good day!
