The docs could tell by Carmen's body language today that she was very agitated. Bert said that the main concerns right now are her vital signs and the pressure on her brain. As far as her vital signs go, her pupils are still responding to light, her blood pressure is nice and low, and she's breathing on her own which are all great things. To check the pressure on Carmen's brain, the docs will be doing an X - Ray every 48 hours or so. The next one will be on Monday and we're hoping to see that the pressure has subsided.
Bert asked me to remind everyone that since Carmen is in the ICU, no flowers are allowed in her room. And unfortunately, he's already running out of room for stuffed animals so hold off on those too. But the cards and the notes are fantastic so please keep those coming.
Bert has been by Carmen's side 24/7. It's very apparent how much he loves his wife. We can only imagine the emotional roller coaster he and the rest of their family have been on this past week. Lets not forget to pray for all of them as well as our beautiful Carmen.
