Thursday evening
Darcie and I are told to go to the ICU waiting room.
Eventually we are called back to be with him.

We meet his nurse Deb.
Deb says that BCH has an excellent Neuro unit.
Deb has a son who also suffered a closed head injury.

Kevin is responsive but not clear.
Deb is giving him gross neurological exams by the hour.
Stuff like... what day is it, what month, what year, where are you, who's president, hold your arms out, check you pupils, etc.

He is still throwing up. Mostly blood by now.
He is receiving Dilantin to control any potential seizures.
And still receiving morphine for pain. I think zofran for nausea.

We head home around 10 pm.
His third CAT scan is planned for 5 am.
Nurses change shifts a 7 am.

Once home, we let some relatives know for the first time.
I send out a quick email and head to bed.
