Another Quiet Day

Jen, along with dad and Jean, spent the day at the hospital with Scott.  It has been a very quiet day for him and thus far.  His heart rate has been elevated today and its not clear exactly why.  He may be in pain (they have provided additional pain medication), may be uncomfortable, or it may be simply because the room so warm.  (There are several other patients, visitors, nurses, etc. in the Neuro Observation Unit room he is in now and it makes for a pretty toasty and sometimes busy atmosphere.)  Jennifer has been able to bring his heart rate down somewhat by applying ice and cold compresses to his forehead.  The nurses have given him a fan, which also helps.  It doesn't appear that this is too much cause for concern but Jen plans to discuss it this afternoon with medical staff.

    No doubt all the stimulus around him is a factor. And discomfort. I'm in awe of your strength, Jennifer and Scott. We love you, keep going :)
