January 11th - Day 7

Morning Update:
They are planning on doing the trach and halo today. Hasn't happened yet. Mike had a good night. The pressure in his head did rise for a little while. The reason they didn't do the procedures yesterday was due to the added fluid in his body. Pray that they are able to do these procedures today and that his CT scans come back with some kind of good news.

Evening Update:
They did not do the trach or the feeding tube.
