Dad was much less responsive yesterday than the last couple of days but hopefully he is just trying to get some rest. His body is working hard right now. The swelling on his brain has gone up again as well as his blood pressure so the Dr's are keeping a close eye on that but say that its normal to have up days and down days. He finally has a feeding tube in so hopefully he is slightly more comfortable. This morning they were taking him in for a procedure to put a line in from his groin all the way up under his heart to filter/stop any blood clots that might form in his legs and try to travel to his heart or brain. They are only giving him a local so we are praying for his comfort and that the procedure will be successful without any further damage. Thank you for your comments and your love and prayers.
