Just Waiting

No update yet from medical staff this morning.  The fact that there were no phone calls last night probably means no emergency procedures were required and that it was a quiet night of recovery for Scott.  Let's hope.

One thing to mention is that when the surgeon debriefed Jen last night, he did say that they were able to start to see some of the extent of the damage from injury to Scott's brain.  He said, because his skull was fractured in many places, there are multiple areas of his brain that were impacted.  The area that seems to have been impacted the most is the area that controls movement and balance.

We don't really have any context for what this means right now, I'm just telling it as it comes.  The good news is that the doctors are starting talk longer term, to do things like assess the damage and talk about what procedures they will do a week from now.  This is a significant change from the way they were talking this weekend, when they wouldn't even entertain questions beyond what was happening minute by minute.  I am very hopeful this means that the end of the "critical stage" is near.
