Preliminary results of the CT scan look good but we do NOT have the official CT scan reading from the radiologist; this should come in a few hours.
Right after the CT scan Miche and David were able to have a visit with Steve; he opened his eyes, looked at Michelle, and said “Michelle”. They asked him what his name was, and he said “Steve”, and laughed.
It seems like he is perhaps starting to come back, and yet the delirium continues. The surgeon feels that is all still likely due to Steve’s prolonged sedation.
Steve is also off oxygen. He was on 3 liters of oxygen a day, he is now off of oxygen and breathing on his own. He continues to have good lung function; coughing; etc…
He did have a temperature overnight, over 101, and they are treating the temp with tylenol.
Will send official confirm on the CT scan when we get it.
Also, a note of recognition that particularly in these early days we know this is a bit of a roller coaster. These initial days of injury, triage, treatment; the diagnostic process; are filled with the peaks and valleys of the unknown. We are all grateful for everyone hanging in through prayers.
