Some progress today on a couple of fronts. First, it appears that Walter will not need a shunt inserted long-term to control the pressure around the brain. His body is handling it. Second, he's keeping his eyes open more and seems to be trying to focus. Third, he's keeping nourishment down and his digestive system is working. All that is progress.
The doctor reports, however, that today's scan, while it showed somewhat of a dissipation of the blood around the brain, did not indicate a reduction in swelling.
We're waiting to receive word that Emory has a bed for him. Hopefully that call will come in the next day or two.
In response to the question of some regarding what they can do, Jessica suggests that anyone desiring to do so may make a contribution on Walter's behalf to The Shepherd Center, where he will be doing his rehab once we get to that point. Below is the link for contributions, which are most appreciated:
