Surgery—Monday, 12:40 pm

We just met with the surgeon, who covered a variety of issues. A catheter was inserted in Robert's brain to monitor intracranial pressure; it showed normal pressure. Most of his injuries were in the chest, side, and abdomen. Surgery involved checking for internal bleeding and organ damage. There is a large amount of bruising, but no significant organ damage or noticable bleeding. His condition continues to be stable, but very critical. Some specific concerns are as follows:
1) The doctors would like to reduce or eliminate blood pressure medications, provided he can maintain blood pressure, as they
contribute to undesirable side effects.
2) Infection is an ongoing concern, especially pneumonia.

Thanks for all of your support.
