Update for Wednesday . . .
From Daisy:
I talked to Erin (the night time nurse - I like her) last night and again this morning. They gave Brandon a bath and she put this shower cap thing on his head that will basically wash his hair without water.
She said he's been sleeping well and all of his signs throughout the night were really good. The guys (Andy & Jeff) went by last night but weren't there long and he was still sedated when they came by. They prayed over him and left him to sleep. The nurse said not to freak out when I saw him today because after she put that shower cap on his head, she combed out his hair. Of course it had all that dried up blood and grass in it. So she asked Brandon if it would be ok to just pull it back away from his face and abrasions. He said yes, so she pulled it up on top of his head. She said he looks a little like pebbles now. ha ha
But at least it's out of that abrasion and cleaned up. She also said he woke up once in the middle of the night and was moving around so she asked him if he needed more pain medicine. I'm guessing he said no because she said she gave him a couple mg of atavan to make him more comfortable and other than that, he's been sleeping well the whole time.
Erin has a similar demeaner as Melanie (the daytime nurse I really like that's had yesterday and today off) and I think Brandon likes the nurses that are cool with him like that. I know I would. Today's nurse is Sam. Sam is a boy
nurse. That's really all I know. Guess we'll see him at 10:30.
Oh, also, Erin untied his hands last night too. I told her I knew that made him happy. He just hates how they keep his hands tied down. She said he had his hands crossed over his chest all cute. I told her that's really all he was wanting to do and he can't with his hands being tied up.
