July 10

Today they put the trach and feeding tube in. Both procedures went well. My father seems much more comfortable w/out those tubes in his throat. We didn't get the full results from the EEG and the other tests BUT they did tell us that from the EEG they looked for seizure activity and found none--which is good. We are not anticipating any other results until Monday as it's the weekend-- but you never know. His blood pressure is still high and they seem to be having a hard time controlling it. He still has the fever too but his lungs still look good and so far the cultures don't show anything growing. No other changes. I will report again tomorrow. Today was a frustrating day. It's so hard to get answers from anybody at the hospital.
