For those of you who do not know me, I am Sheldon's cousin...I try and talk to someone in his family a couple of time a day...so hopefully my information will be somewhat current...I am not a medical type...so please forgive me if I miss some of the finer medical details.
I spoke with Sheldon's sister, Julie, this morning, and Sheldon made it through another night. Julie & Lonnie spent most of the night with him, and were able to talk to him. There has been no change medically, he made it through another night without crashing.
Ben & Viola were able to go home for the night...the first time since Saturday. Hopefully, they had a good rest (or at least as good as they can have under the circumstances).
I am hoping that today will be a good day.

Hey guys, its lonnie.
last night sheldon did cough and took several large breaths on his own. They have decreased his blood pressure meds and he is more stable then ever although a little cranky. his icp(inter cranial pressure) has been sitting at approx 9 but does fluctuate when ever he is stimulated which is very promising. julie stayed by his side the entire night until 7:00 am as benji and i remained as julie support with runs to tim hortons.they are turning him more often and last night he moved his legs a little. the heavy sedatives they have had him on where starting to fade so it may have been voluntary movement
(we can hope). Last night was the first time we have heard any of the staff say he has improved.
i really appreciate the picu staff. they are all wonderfull people and they have been making this so much easier.
i need some sleep
lonnie
