I spoke with Mrs. Doug this afternoon. She was at Walgreens getting Bro. Dale some better smelling aftershave. She said the stuff the hospital uses didn't smell good. It made him smell like an old man. :)
She said they have started weaning him off the sedation medication today and that it will take about 12 hours to really get out of his system. He has begun to yawn more and move his eyes around like he was trying to wake up, but he has not opened them yet. They are giving him a medication to control his heart rate and that seems to be keeping his blood pressure within the range they want it.
He has started to run a low fever, around 100 degrees. They are not surprised by that and said that it's normal, but they are checking to be sure there's no infection anywhere. Pray that there is no infection.
They will do a scan in the morning to check to see how the swelling is doing.
We need to be praying that God will strengthen Bro. Dale so that he can wake up. Also ask God to give him the ability to understand what is being said to him when he does wake up.
"Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need." Hebrews 4:16
