Friday morning
Kevin showed improvement in his neurological tests all night and throughout this day. He is sleeping except when the nurse comes in for testing once an hour. He has walked around the room once. They give him morphine for his head pain now and then.

Tomorrow morning, he gets another CAT scan. They will send him home when he is able to walk and eat and take care of himself. Probably the earliest that would be is Saturday afternoon.

I think we are past the scary stuff like surgery. He is very much himself when it is time to talk to him. He is answering questions well. The unpredictable part will be the longer term effects of the head injury and concussion, which we are hearing can last up to a year or more.
