6:30 am - Baby steps. Maggie's body temperature is back to normal, and the team has stopped the paralytic, and her shivering is minimized. She began to gag on the breathing tube, so they gave her a sedative to relax her. EEG still looks good, but the breathing tube will need to remain for a while as they determine that her lungs are clear and there are no areas of concern for infection.
2 pm - Mags is off the EEG monitor and many of her multiple IVs. She has responded to touch and our voices though she's still sedated. She has opened her eyes - though unfocused - and responded to commands to blink and squeezing our hands. All tests look positive. The doctors have ordered an MRI to see how things look. The breathing tube may need to be in place for another 48 hours, which probably means sedation too. It feels like forever, but everything is trending in the right direction. Thanks again for all your prayers. Laura & Craig
9 pm - No new information. Care team rounds in the morning will give us more to report by 9 or 10 am.
