Thursday afternoon

Bev did not have the operation on her fractures today.  The doctors are trying to lower her temp and fight off the fever from last night before proceeding.  Bev is having more circulation problems in her left leg so while they are trying to keep her core temp lower they are also trying to keep her extremities warmer. Her blood pressure and pulse are good but they have increased the pain killer last night.  The doctors are also concerned that there has been no neurological response yet. They will be trying a different pain killer at a lower dose to see if this will allow us to see a response from Bev. This evening or tomorrow they will insert a tracheal tube to ventillate Bev easier and reduce the chance of infection.  Bev is having a constant EEG taken for a 24 hour period.
