Good new! Today the neuroteam (8 of them) came in and did an extensive workup and assessment on Lynn. They came out and said "He is a miracle patient". He is beginning to react to painful stimuli (he now has some pretty impressive bruises!), his pupils are starting to show some reactivity, and he continues to overbreathe the vent. His ICP level has continued to be in perfect range. Therefore, they have turned off the propofol, they have changed the vent setting to support mode (he is breathing on his own) and they have done a doppler study of the perfusion of the brain which according to the tech (shhh), showed good perfusion. We were not expecting this kind of news today. We certainly have a long way to go, and of course he isn't totally out of the woods, but I can't imagine a better Valentine's present from my husband. We continue to be amazed at the power of prayer, fasting and priesthood. Thanks for all of your support!

It sounds like he still has the strength to fight the hardships his body is facing. We are praying that the doctors will know what to do, and that your family will be able to make the best decisions for him. We know that this is a very difficult time, and we know that the Lord's hand is with you.
Love,
David and Amy
Wow Teeen! This is most incredible! Miracles are indeed real and most wonderful when the good news of them are shared! We are praying here in Boston. I should mention, kind of a weird thing, but at about 4:30am EST time, I woke up abruptly from a sound sleep and felt very strongly to pray for Lynn. I often wonder how things like that happen, but am happy to not to have to understand it...Happy, happy Valentines Day! much love, Lori
Sounds great, hope it keeps going forward...our family won't be the same without Uncle Lynn!
The Neil and Haley Kraaima family love you guys!
