I've decided to set up a blog to help keep everyone updated on Lynn's progress. I want to thank everyone for their prayers and kind thoughts. Since I haven't always been able to answer each of your calls and texts, you can get updates on the blog. Please feel free to comment as I will be sharing this blog with Lynn as he recovers.

Also, posts before March 28 will say they were posted by my daughter because we set up the blog under her email address.

Here is the update on Lynn this morning. Unfortunately I am not able to be at the hospital today because today is the day that Sterling is placing her baby for adoption and I need to be with her. Dad and Mom Kraaima are standing by and keeping me updated. The doctor came in today and told them that we are now where we were 4 days ago when everything was looking better and before they started changing everything from IV to PO (down his tube). His ammonia level is back down to 17, his ICP levels are within an acceptable range. The vent is still there as a back up for his breathing although he continues to breathe on his own. The plan now is to keep everything the same until he wakes up and then they will slowly make changes. In this morning's neuro exam, he is still doing some extension and one arm is showing some flexion on pain stimulation, but he is still not responding to verbal command or opening his eyes. We will continue to wait patiently until he decides to wake up. Again, thanks to all of you who have sent cards and messages of support and prayer. We are putting them up on his wall so he will eventually seen them.
