7:30pm - The doctor just informed us that Eric's internal temperature is high and will be inserting a catheter in his groin, feed it through his vein and run cold liquids in it to lower the temperature. Additionally, Eric had another burst where his pressure climbed extremely high which re-emphasized the installation of the relief valve.

Around 5:30pm we had a consultation with Eric's doctors. The doctors advised us of Eric's current situation and what actions need to be taken. The pressure in Eric's brain is high and all medical treatments that can be administered have been taken. The options now are: First, put a relief valve in his head to release some of the spinal fluid around the brain thus giving the swelling room and deceasing the pressure; if the pressure does not stabilize, removal of the top of his skull down to the ears is the only other option.

This morning, the doctors canceled the scheduled surgery to fix Eric's leg and arm due to high pressure readings in the brain. The doctors put Eric back in paralysis to lower his pressure. We will talk with the doctors at 1pm this afternoon to see what happens next.
