This is Zak. Some positive news today. They took off his bandages today and removed two of the four drains from his head -- and it sounds like the remaining two will come out tomorrow. Tomorrow's a big day. They're going to reduce Brad's sedation to see how he reacts. Nobody seems sure what tomorrow will hold for him. Hopefully we get some more good news.

I was up at the hospital with Brad until about 12:30 last night. He seemed to have a very restful day -- probably due to the morphine. Although he's in good hands at the hospital, it's really hard to leave him at night. I don't want him to ever feel like he's alone. And judging by the countless family members in his room at any given time of the day I like to think that he knows we're all here supporting him. The nurses have been pretty tolerant of us breaking the "no more than two family members in the room rule". Thanks again for the support and prayers. Z
