Notes from Sunday morning

The surgeon's assistant came by, and Kathy asked her about permanent heart damage - she said they would perform an ultrasound to determine the extent of the damage in 4-6 weeks.

Cardiology says his heart looks good and is pumping strongly -at this stage - for what he's gone through. They are still concerned about his slow digestion and his cognitive function, though Dr. Fuller feels like "everything is moving in the right direction."

Dr. Louie - the neurologist - says he "has a feeling that he's in there," it's just going to take a while.

He's still on sedative - whenever they lower it he gets agitated and restless. He has been opening his eyes a bit more, but still is not responding to commands.
