Ken was started on a 3% sodium treatment for the swelling. He had a follow up ct scan at 8 pm last night which showed a 1 millimeter increase in swelling. I was called in the middle of the night by the neurosurgeon Dr. Naïr. He was asked to evaluate Ken for surgery. Even with the increase he is still alert and responsive. We agreed that surgery presents too great a risk at this time and we will optimize the medication management for now. Continue to pray for his full recovery. The power of healing is in God's hands.
