Just got the morning's update. Jeremy's ICP (Inter-Cranial Pressure) was between 9 and 11 all night, which is good. He is starting to digest the "food" that he's being given. We were concerned about this because he's burning so many calories on the respirator. He needs the nutrients. We've also been told that the doctors might trach him this week to get the tube out of his throat. The tube is really irritating and increases his chances of infection so they'll do a tracheotomy to help with that. Greg and Debi are supposed to meet with the ER doctor today, so we may not hear any more news for a while.

Glad to hear the ICP is coming down. We'll keep praying.
