still waiting

Today's brain scan still confirmed that there is no new bleeding in the brain. His fever is still going between 100-101. We're still waiting for him to show movement and wake up. He is showing some more signs though and has been coughing (but not what you think)...coughing for some one on a ventilator looks like a terrible experience and pretty tough to watch, but is still a reflex motion that is hopeful to see. Today I saw more movement in his eyes and it looked like he would blink when I would touch over his brow. At one point I swear he was struggling to open his eyes, but it looked like it was quite difficult. Like every day though...there seems to be some surprise. Today the cuff of his ventilator was exhibiting signs of a leak which is not good and could prevent his lungs from getting all the oxygen they needed. They said it is kinda rare to have this kind of problem with the equipment, but it did seem to happen. They called in the anesthesiologist and replaced the tube asap. It was a pretty quick procedures, but I doubt Mark enjoyed it. We've been telling him stories and jokes all day. Tomorrow I will print out all the facebook wishes and read those to him. Still asking for extreme praying!
