It was the rainiest storm in 7 years in Southern California yesterday. Aaron and Kailash had 'clean up song' going as they piled towels to some water seeping into the living room and garage. Meanwhile here, there is a snow warning for tonight. Baba has also been "snowed" all day. I came in this morning and they had him sitting up again, which is great for his circulation. However, he was zonked out, snowed out cold. Yesterday when we moved him, it was a tiring experience, and he pretty much went to sleep. It was good yesterday because he was restless most of the day until we moved him. Today, however, he hasn't opened his eyes once. Apparently they gave him the anti-anxiety meds again and that zonked him out. Him being totally out and non-responsive has prompted another round of EEGs for seizure surveillance. He was also not able to do any of the swallow testing that was scheduled for today since he has been out. So, most likely we are going to go forward with the belly feed. In the short term, it's more comfortable than the nose feed and then eventually (think April) we can think about removing if he is able to eat on his own. Not sure if a poor nurse shift change between the night shift nurse and temp nurse (who was switched off to the regular daytime shift nurse) is to blame or if he's having seizures.
