The good news is that Graham came through another night. The first 72 hours are critical and he is through the first 48 hours which is good news and his condition has not worsened.
He does have some fluid building in his lungs but they are treating that with medication and it is starting to reduce the level so that will be another prayer request.
They are about to take him in for an EEG which will measure the brain activity and determine if there are any mini strokes that are occuring in his brain. They will have the results of this after lunch.
Many have asked if Graham is awake and right now he is being sedated to conserve his energy but when awake he is fighting the doctors and the cords which is a strong sign.
Right now the Lake's are requesting limited visits to the actual hospital waiting room as Graham is to receive minimal stimulation and they are trying to stay there with him.
Many have asked how they can help and for the next few days they are covered with family in from out of town but they will need assistance with Lucas and meals to the hospital next week. I will find out the day as things play out and let you know and we can try to coordinate. They are overwhelmed and appreciate all that you are doing and all the prayers!
