He is off sedation now

They stopped the sedation this morning so that he can slowly come to consciousness. He is still not fully awake, however, he is able to move his head toward the sound of our voices. So far, he hasn't gotten aggitated or too upset.
We continue to remind him when he stirs that he's been in a terrible accident and that he's at RCH and will be ok. We tell him not to try to talk because his jaw is wired closed and not to try to move because of his broken bones. He is trying to breathe on his own but he is still on the respirator.
His most recent CT Scan showed some minor brain damage, mostly to the part of his brain that controls his inhibitions. They have prepared us for the possibility that he will wake up very aggitated or angry and that it is likely that he will just say what he is thinking and will not be able to help himself.
They say that it may take a couple of days for the sedation to completely wear off depending on how quickly his body metabolizes the medication. We all agree that the longer he can sleep, the better, since he still has the trach in and is on the respirator. Not to mention that the longer he sleeps, the less he's aware of his circumstances.
He looks much better today. Most of his swelling has gone down and he has a lot more natral color in his face and body. He isn't so red and puffy.
The lacerations on his face look like they are healing really well and he's had some of his sutures removed.
Now that the swelling has gone down, I can see a horrible goose egg on his forehead. Seriously, it's like what you see in the Tom & Jerry cartoons.
Thank you again for all of your love and support and prayers. Ultimately, they are working. While he is still considered critical, he is stable and responding to treatment.
