This morning, we received word that Peter would have another CT scan and would await the results before going ahead with the plan to move Peter out of ICU and to a regular room.
This decision was proven to be made with wisdom as the scan did reveal some intracranial bleeding. This bleeding is different from the bleeding Peter experienced in the first couple days. The earlier bleeding was *outside* the brain. This bleeding is *inside* the brain. I wish I could tell you exactly what this means, but I just got the news and thought it best to get the news to you now than to wait for the exact details.
Obviously, the bleeding is not good news. But, this does not change all of the good news we were able to report in the last update EXCEPT that Peter will remain in ICU for 1 or 2 more days. It is good news that the doctor decided to take another CT scan and found this new bleeding. We definitely wouldn’t want Peter moved out of ICU but not know about this bleeding.
I’m headed to the hospital soon and if I find out anything relatively quickly, I’ll update this post. If it takes a while to learn anything new, I’ll post it in the next update.
Thank you for the updates.
