FMMJ: May 4 to May 5, 1998


Monday May 4, 1998

Lungs showed fluid in lower left lung. Spasms continue on both sides. Either side of the brain have been spasming. Jered still in a coma. Dad cries a lot. We both do. Dad sleeps near Jered all night long. He won't leave the hospital at all. He refuses to go eat if people want to take him out. Lani came home. She's done with everything at college. They worked with her to get things done early.

Tuesday May 5, 1998

Jered's spasms and ICP's worsening. We sought a 2nd opinion. The second neurosurgeon, Dr. Kelley, told us the same thing but more clearly. He told us no neurosurgeon would touch this because it is too deep in the brain and could do more harm or create problems with vision, speech and motor skills. We were desperate for Jered. We have prayed everyday, many times a day. The nurses are growing attached to Jered. They are gentle and kind. This is my birthday. I want Jered to have a good night. No high ICP's or blood pressures or heart rate.
