100% Update: Late Evening CT Scan & Fast-Acting Sedatives

While you are all sleeping your lives away, Mom and I went to the gift shop and purchased some Vandy Commodores Toothpicks to place in our eyes to keep them open. (Note: Eyes half shut while typing this, so excuse any typos.)

Let's cut to the chase, so I can cut to the crib. They took another CT scan this morning (at around 1:00am). While Mom and I were back with Dad--praying, laughing, and tearing (no crying)--the results came back. Dr. Big Voice, a neurosurgeon on another team, came by and told us the CT Scan "looks good...no new bleeding...now just let him rest..."

Nurse Short Stuff and Nurse Newbie were doing great tonight. Second round of good news is that Dad was going on a new, fast-acting sedative. With this new sedative, Dr. Big Voice's counter-partner (who we don' t know yet) will be able to instantaneously cut of the sedative to perform neurological testing. That's good news.

Until tomorrow a.m., adios.

You don't know me, but your Mom and Dad are both special people to me. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate the updates you are doing. I first learned of the accident from Pat White's post and have been looking for information several times a day.

Please tell your Mom that Claudette Pickle sends her love and is praying for Ray's recovery. I am keeping all of you in my prayers because this is difficult on the whole family. Thank you.
