I'm putting the post out early tonight. I want to stay with Chance tonight but we will have to wait and see.

He had a VERY peaceful night and day. They found the right mixture of medicines to keep him comfortable. Things look great and the doctors are still pleased. His face is a bit more swollen than it was yesterday. They think it may swell alittle bit more tomorrow and after that the swelling should start to go down. They told us that his brain cavity is probably already filled with the spinal/cerebral fluid.

We are planning on taking the ventilator out and start the movement of his head to midline sometime tonight or early morning. They are pushing up the levels on the ventilator that allows him to breathe on his own. If they can push it enough, they think that the ventilator may come out around 3:00am. If I come back to the room tonight, and they are ready to pull out the ventilator, they will call me so that I can be with him. After they remove the ventilator, they will give him a cat scan. It's going to be a busy night!

We haven't seen the incision yet. They don't remove the bandage unless there is seepage.

Talk to you all later. Hope you all have a good night.
