Morning Post Surgery Update

Last night after surgery they turned down the sedation to check Dad's responsiveness.  They were unable to get him to respond, which concerned them.  So they immediately had another Cat scan done to check on his brain bleed.  The Cat Scan  looked unchanged from the previous one, which was good.  They thought that his unresponsiveness may have been caused from all of the medication in his systerm from surgery, so they turned off his sedation overnight and turned down his pain meds.   This morning they were able to get him to follow commands.  He also opened his eyes.  He was acting like he was in pain at that point, so they turned the meds back up.
