The last few days have been rough for Nolan...

He was doing so good after surgery that they were going to move him to a regular room but before that happened Nolan had a set back :-(   He had woke up yesterday morning fine and talking but was in pain so the nurse gave him some morphine and he took a nap.  When he woke up he could no longer talk, his teeth were clenched and he was having a lot of facial twitching.  I knew that he was having seizures... He had a ct scan after the episodes which showed the ventricles in his brain are still a little large.  The doctor wants him sitting up in bed to hopefully help with the drainage.  He will have another ct in the morning to make sure this Is looking better.  Please be in prayer for a good scan! I really don't want him to have to have another surgery.  The other problem he has going on is when Nolan went into surgery he had a normal sodium of 141 the day after it went down to 127 which triggered the seizures.  He's getting continuous EEG monitoring, they have gave him a bolus of two different seizure meds and have him on a slow drip of sodium to hopefully get the seizures under control again.  There is talk of doing an MRI tomorrow if things don't improve....

Thank you for all the continued prayers!!
