Today was a hard day for Oliver’s parents. It brought happy moments and sad moments. The doctors decided that Oli was strong enough to be taken off the ventilator and he has been able to sustain his own breathing. He has spent most of the later half of the day moaning/crying. This has been very upsetting to his parents. He had an EEG late last night and they received the results this afternoon. The Neurologist told them that not much has change from the first EEG he had immediately following the accident. His brain waves are slow and she is certain that there is brain damage. How much though, they won’t know until tomorrow when he has an MRI. She told them that the moaning is a sign of severe brain damage. When I heard him he sounded a lot like he was trying to cry but moaning was all that he could get out. I did notice that he is swallowing and blinking, which are good signs, none of which Kaleb had when he was in the hospital. He does have pneumonia and they are treating that infection. I will do my best to keep everyone updated. I have a feeling that tomorrow will be a difficult day for their family because I can remember the day Kaleb had his MRI done. I am praying diligently that God heals his brain and floods his brain with oxygen. Please continue to pray for him. This has been a hard week for everyone who is involved. Reality is starting to set in and it is scary for everyone. Please keep sweet Oliver in your prayers. This family doesn’t have much but they have each other and hopefully love and prayers from you guys. Oliver needs our prayers more than anything now. Please pray for favorable MRI results.
