9:45 am. Kevin has been totally weaned from the paralytic medicine. The medicationto keep him in a coma is continuing to be reduced very slowing. If this medication is reduced to quickly Kevin's ICP (intercrainial brainpressure) will go back up. The ICP is remaining stable at this point in time. As reported a couple of days ago, he would wake up aggrevated if hewas awakened too quickly. The doctors are telling the family it will be days before Kevin wakes up as the medicine will linger in his body. Unfortunately, Kevin has developed an infection and the source is unknown. He had a fever last night. That is gone, but his white cell count iscontinuing to rise. Sarah is too sick to be at the hospital this morning. She may be suffering side affects from the antibiotics she is taking forher cold. Tami is in a great deal of pain with her fibro myalgia. Tami would like you to specifically pray for these things:1. for the infection to subside; 2. for Sarah to get well and 3. for Tami to be relieved of pain. Keep praying.
1:15 pm. The infection Kevin has is due to pneumonia. This is par for the coursewith what is going on and they are not alarmed.
