Last night when me and my mom were at the hospital Andrews EEG started showing some spikes, which basically means he is waking up a little bit. He is off all coma meds. The ventilator has him doing 10 breaths per minute, and he was sneaking in little breaths here and there, the vent would read 12 or 13 which means he is trying to breathe on his own. Once we noticed some activity we said something to his nurse who called in the doctor. They checked his stats and moved him around and suctioned out his nose and mouth. Once all that was done he was no longer showing any signs of waking up and my Dad just text saying everything is pretty much the same since last night.  My mom did ask if they will keep him somewhat sedated when he wakes up because he has all these tubes in his nose throat and everywhere else. She said no, they want to see what he can do, they want to make sure he can breathe on his own once he wakes up.. so i guess we just wait. I hope im not there when he wakes up, its not going to be pretty. They do have his arms restrained so he cant pull everything out once he wakes up.
More later..
