Morning doctors update: Temporary spikes in Morgans ICP is not too concerning considering something was done externally to agitate her. Doctor decided it was best to increase her pain meds. It would allow her to tolerate more and considering her injuries that was okay. If her pressure stays in a normal range it is possible the ICP monitor will be removed. She may also get her brain wave monitor (EEG) off today. Her nutrition will gradually be increased to a full dose over the next 12 hours. Body cooler has been removed, so the paralytic can be stopped. Pray her body can maintain its temp on its own. They have increased her fluid output. Pray all goes as expected and continues to trend positively in her favor. One minor non-accident related issue to start praying for is her lungs. X-ray shows a small area that is not quite right. Doctor states it is common for someone with a respirator that cannot be rolled completely side-to-side due to her injury on the right side of her head. Pray this is healed on its own/Gods touch and does not become a permanent issue for her. (Poster: Kevin)
