Subject: RE: Help: Recovery and Health for Banjo Player
I'm practically giddy tonight! The first bit of good news since 8 days ago.

They put in a shunt yesterday to relieve the pressure on George's brain and he's swimming to the surface today. Wiggled his feet and toes in response to requests and nodded his head twice when asked to. Isn't that scrumptious...

His pneumonia is better and they took out the ventilator again but they're having trouble keeping him oxygenated so he still has a mask on.

Request: They have not been able to bring down his blood pressure. How about working on that, folks? And thank you in advance!
