Got a quick update on the condition of Bryan Stow, the San Francisco Giant fan who was beaten literally into a coma by two Los Angeles Dodger fans in Parking Lot 2 after Opening Day last month at Dodger Stadium.
According to posts by his family on their website www.support4bryanstow.com, Bryan is in the process of being taken out of a medically induced coma, but he is not out of the woods yet. Here is the latest update. from yesterday afternoon....
Another update is scheduled to be placed on the web site later tonight.......
UPDATE 6:07 PM PST -
Bryan is scheduled for another surgery on Thursday or Friday. His brain is collecting fluide so a shunt needs to be put in the cranium at the center of the brain and it will be snaked down through his stomach to drain. The abdomen will hopefully absorb the fluid.
We met with the head neurologist this morning and Bryan's surgeon yesterday... both agree that Bryan is not responding to stimulation as much as he should be.
In a meeting today, it was decided to start lowering the 8 medications he is on. The main objective is to keep Bryan from experiencing major seizures.
He has been having seizure spikes but the doctors cannot keep "chasing" those and still expect to try to check his reactions.
So again we wait.. and pray.
