Good Morning, Bright Eyes

It's hard to beat this morning. Riza opened her eyes widely when I walked in and squeezed my hand firmly.

She had a very good night last night and her solo-flight-breathing tests all went very well. (Two, Four, Six Eight! Now it's time to Extubate!). Her temp is down a degree and her ICP was good. They still give her Tylenol as they would like the temp down another degree. Brain metabolism and chemical changes are accelerated at higher temperatures, so they want it down. Yet, Emily, her nurse overnight. was very pleased.

The clot is worrisome. Real bad but real common. They will likely just wait it out and hope she breaks it down naturally before it breaks up.
