Unfortunately overnight the pressures in David's head continued to give cause for concern and his monitor was changed in case the other one was giving faulty readings. The readings continued to be high and so he was again sedated, given drugs to help and the mattress cooled to help bring the pressures down. Having gone in this morning hoping that he would be a little more alert than yesterday, this was a shock.
The consultant told us that the next step was to take David down to Theatre and insert a drain in his head, which would remain for approx. a week or so.
The operation took place this afternoon and when Roger rang at 4 pm, he had just come back to the Unit. He will now remain sedated overnight and we will see how he is tomorrow. Roger and Margaret are visiting him at the moment.
