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.

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.
