Default Re: Linn Bebout was in a near fatal car accident on Sunday night

Today Linn was stable enough to move him to do a CAT scan but during the scan things got unstable again. They continue to see small improvements in him. Such as he got a bit better early this morning but then after the scan he is the same place he was yesterday at this time. They have kept him on meds because they fear he will start pulling at the all the tubes in him. Which is common in a person of his age. But they are trying to give him less meds so that he can respond to them, not always working but somethings have gotten better. Such as they are giving him less pain medication. Which he did open his eyes this morning and look at my dad when he ask him to. But then the set back from the scan happened.

They have put a needle in his head to watch the pressure in his brain and it is staying at normal levels. That tells us that his brain is healing it's self and that it's not bleeding.

They are concerned about infection as he does have a fever. They have not been able to do a lung culture, they were hoping to do that today but didn't happen. So maybe Thursday........

So many of you have sent cards and that is very comforting to our family to know so many people care.
