Wow, where have the days gone!

Hey everyone! Sorry this post is so late in the day. It seems like the days just fly by up here at the hospital. Aunt Carla and I spent the night last night (aunt, niece bonding time) while Mom and Dad got some much needed sleep at home. Adam did well through the night, no changes, but still holding his own. When Carla and I went in to see him this morning he was trying to sit up in bed, pulling at his restraints and bending his knees up towards his chest. The neuro surgeon was there at the time and discussed his scan with us. He said that he had another clot on the left side of the brain where he had preformed his first surgery. And some new bleeding on the right side of his brain. However, he said that he had such a hard time stopping the bleeding the first time he had surgery that he didn't feel that he'd do him any justice by going in and messing with his head again. He said he's moving so well right now that he doesn't want to mess with his brain and potentially cause more problems. Later in the morning, his nurse said he was hanging his head over his bedrail trying to get out of bed! They said this was a great sign! We're just waiting for him to open those eyes! But Adam's always been bullheaded, so I know that he will do it in his time, when it's right!!! Last night when Carla and I told Adam that we were going to go out to the lounge and sleep, Adam grabbed Carlas hand tighter! YAHHH! I definitely miss my brother, as many of you do. I'm ready to see his smile, hear him laugh, and get some random text messages. Keep holding him up in prayer! God does amazing things! Thanks again for everything everyone has done! You all are amazing. Also thanks to the nurses and staff at Parkview Hospital. Nothing but wonderful things to say about the care you have provided. Until next time...
