My wife just called. She's on her way home from the hospital after visiting with Alex and the family. She said that nothing much has changed today.
She did report that the bolt in Alex's head used to measure his inter-cranial pressure isn't working so they will track his pressures using the drain that was put in last week. This doesn't seem to be a big deal for the nurses, which is good.
Alex's heart rate has been slightly elevated and they think that he might be a little dry. The nurse called the doctor who ordered a bolus of IV fluid and this helped.
The serium sodium elevated again during today's shift but not to a point of major concern.
The family is able to visit Alex at the bedside but they are still trying to keep the room quiet. This helps keep his pressures down.
