Zak here. Visited Brad this afternoon. His first non-hospital meal request was...blueberry waffles, hah! He ate a couple bites of the waffle dad brought to him from Waffle House. He's not eating much, so his energy level is still very low and he sleeps most of the time (which is good healing time, so that's good). The doc did note some additional brain swelling today, so he's back on Manitol (I think I have that right) to help keep that in check. He showed some signs of confusion during conversations, but is still increasingly more alert and focused each day. I showed him the video I posted on the blog -- he got a good laugh out of that. I left when two nurses came in for the sponge bath, which I'm sure he enjoyed. Brad now knows there's a blog dedicated to him and loves to hear the comments you post, so keep 'em coming. Also please keep in mind the recovery account we've set up to help the family deal with what will be some pretty steep medical bills coming from the long months of care and rehab in Brad's future. Thanks to all for checking in.
