Waiting for Results

Scott had another CT scan this morning.  Jen is at the hospital now waiting for results and to talk to the doctor.  The nurses indicated there was a little progress last night, though they could not give her specifics.  I will post more when I hear results.

I wanted to tell people a little bit about his care and his room.  He is in an open ICU room (meaning there is no door on the room, I guess to allow easy access in and out in case of an emergency) right near the nurses station.  There is a nurse at his side 24 hours a day, reading monitors, checking vitals and generally caring for him.  The nurses have music playing for him since they know he's a rocker.  They were originally off base with the classic rock station.  Jen was a little concerned that he'd never want to wake up with that playing all the time.  But yesterday when she went in to see him the nurse was playing some Black Sabbath and some Stooges.  The nurse said she believed it seemed like he wanted to harder stuff so, we are going with that right now.

  2. This is a good update. Wonderful that they are pinpointing what will connect the best to his consciousness, however subdued it may currently be. I have to say, Penny, it is remarkable how much smiling I do when reading your updates, despite the direness of the situation that has brought them to be - I feel confident both about the technical care Scott is receiving as well as the strong spirit you are all surrounding him with. Maybe a little Scratch Acid :)

  5. Hey Y'all, I can't tell you how optimistic we are for Scott. So glad he's getting some good jams to listen to, and that his nurses are so attentive to his condition.
    You guys are not alone out there, we are all praying for your peace during this trying time, considering all the trials and tribulations that our family has been through these past few years.
    We keep up with the blogs here 24/7 and will continue to look forward to each update. Hope is a powerful emotion that we are all focused on in spirit, as we "tune in" to Scott's recovery!
    We love you guys, and can't wait 'til this blog says "We are going home today, Scott can't wait to get outta here!"

    Love, Noah B and the whole Keyser clan.
