Today is a GREAT day.

11-1-07 @9:00/AM – Today is a GREAT day. Mike responded to some commands, they asked him to show them his thumb and two fingers and he did. He also tried to open one eye. His heart rate, blood pressure, breathing on his own and fever are the same as yesterday. They continue to treat him for a staff infection with antibiotics. He is on his way now to do the blood clot filter procedure. He will then be moved from the Trauma ICU to the 3^rd Floor IMC, Room 17 Bed 1.

A heartfelt thank you to friends, family and co-workers

Mike had a pretty active day today.

11-1-07 @10:00/PM – Mike had a pretty active day today. They completed the blood clot filter procedure and he was moved from Trauma ICU, to his new room on the 3^rd floor IMC. His heart rate, blood pressure, breathing on his own, and fever appear to be stable. They continue to treat him for a staff infection in his lungs with antibiotics. We saw eye and hand movements tonight but with the busy day he had, there were no real responses to verbal commands.
