what the neurologist said

The neurologist found no damage to the brain from the MRI and lumbar puncture testings. He said the spots on the left side of the brain are commonly found among burn patients. The neurologist will speak with Dr. Murthy to determine if a drug should be tried that will wake up my brother.

Some improvements:
-He is able to sit by himself on the edge of the chair.
-He continues to follow directions i.e. pointing with his finger, point to his eyes, etc.
-When he tries to open his eyes, his pupils do move around

Let's pray:
-Although this drug is safe to use, let's pray that Keith will wake up on his own. Once the drug is used, he may have to depend on it to keep him awake.
