Throughout the night, Laurie had a rough time and was thrashing around too much. Her cognitive level had lowered and she became lethargic. In the morning they decided to sedate her and put her back on the intubator. Although this was a step back the doctors said that it could be for the best so she will stay calm. They also began a blood pressure medication that helps keep it up. Although on the intubator they said she was breathing on her own.
About every four hours they would wake her up and check if she was able to still move all of her extremities. She was still able to move everything except her left eye. When any of us went back they would do all this so we were able to see it all!
Over all today was a stable day for her. She was able to rest and let the blood drain off her brain. Thank you for all the visitors today!
