First off, Steffan is still the handsomest man on the floor.  So that's great.

His ICP (intercranial pressure) fluctuated a little today so the doctors decided to put him back on the paralytic to ensure it stays low.  Allows Steffan's body to completely relax.  Within an hour after giving it to him, his ICP was lowering - so that was a good sign.

The source of the bleed is still unknown.  Yesterday's angiogram showed a small "blip" (nurse's word, not mine) in an area that they thought they saw something previously - so that could be a clue.  And they did another CT scan today, but it looks the same as earlier scans. The team of doctors and specialists are going to meet tomorrow and review all imaging to try to determine what's going on. We are thankful that none of the scans/images are showing anything that they consider "urgent", but anxious to find out what's going on so we can move forward.

Keep sending good thoughts, prayers, meditations, vibes, whatever you can send we will graciously and gratefully accept!

Team Steffan is strong...and well dressed.  Except Noel, who wore shorts and pineapple socks today.
