"Everything is going just as well as it possibly could be!" said the neurosurgeon on rounds tonight. Can't ask for better than that! He has had three feedings and is now up to goal volume of formula. They were able to remove the catheter tonight (yahoo!) which made him madder than a wet hen for a few minutes but then he was fine. He's just snoozing away on his cocktail of meds. They are now down to alternating morphine and ativan every 5-6 hours, so that's great, too. His night nurse mentioned he is now considered PCCU Transition case, so I'm hoping we'll get to move to a regular room late tomorrow or early Sunday. We'll wait and see how tonight and tomorrow go. His eyes are swollen shut now, but he still isn't nearly as swollen as we expected. He should get to peak swelling tomorrow afternoon and then the swelling will begin to decrease. He has to be able to open his eyes again and they have to be able to remove the drain in his head before he can move to a regular room.
Please keep praying! A special prayer request is to please pray for peace for Sarah--tonight it looked like she's starting to have a tough time with the disruption in her routine and she told me she told me she is "really worried" about Liam despite our reassurances about how well he's doing.
In Christ,
Bill and Lisa

Do you think Sarah might like a phone call from Bethany? Let Mom know if so, and what time would be best to call. So glad Liam is doing well.
