Day 12: Bazinga - Sunday March 25, 2012

Scott had a very restful night.  They gave him Seroquel in the evening and it really calmed him down.  The nursing response was much better and Ashley was able to rest.  Perhaps we also wore Scott out during the day yesterday and have avoided him switching days and nights.  We can only hope.

Scott was also quiet this morning.  He sat in the med-chair again for over two hours and fell asleep sitting up.  The attending physician has confirmed that we will be having a consulting neurological rehabilitation physician from Barrows visit with us sometime tomorrow.  We should also have a visit from an orthopedic physician about Scott’s shoulder. All blood work looks good, no fever and blood pressure remains normal.

Half of the staples securing the incision in Scott’s head were removed today.  The other half will be removed in a couple days.

This afternoon we Skyped Ryan Moore, Scott’s brother in Dallas and the two had a video conference call.  Scott definitely reacted to Ryan’s voice and kept his eyes open and on the monitor the whole time.

This afternoon Scott has been very active.  We did give him some Tylenol thinking it would calm him as it did the previous day but no such luck.  We’re letting him go so he doesn’t get his days and nights confused.  He is being quite a handfull and actually seems to be trying to get out of the bed.

Ashley was able to go out with her friends for awhile and enjoy dinner and a shower at home.  We’ll take any break for her that we can get.

Overall the day has been very active without any significant change in awareness.  We hope he rests well tonight as he did last night so Ashley can get some sleep.

Humorous mental picture of the day:  Ashley singing “Soft Kitty” to Scott.  BAZINGA!
