At some point during the night, Dad decided the lowest piece of packing in his nose (there are at least two layers) was no longer needed. I arrived this morning to find him sound asleep... with the packing in his hand. After his nurse and I woke him up around 9, he was less than interested in breakfast...or any activity that involved staying awake. Even though the 'waxing and waning' is normal behavior for someone recovering from a brain 'injury', the decrease in responsiveness combined with the premature packing removal was enough to warrant yet another CT scan. Thankfully, the scan showed slightly less air in his head than yesterday, so the doctor's aren't concerned about the behavior change yet. ENT also felt the packing didn't need to be replaced. Dad perked up a little for lunch with Jess, but then slept the rest of the afternoon. I suppose 3 weeks without a full night of sleep is enough to make anyone tired.
And, so we wait....
