Waiting...waiting...

Sorry there hasn't been any new news posted - but there really hasn't been much news.

Elder McBride is doing well. He is awake more and communicating just fine. They have been running a lot of tests - MRI, EEG, etc. (The picture above is the EEG checking his brain function - happily they found one) He is getting to be an expert on touching his finger to his nose. Right now the main concern is whether or not the swelling in the cerebellum is going to get worse, or better. If it gets worse, all of the surgery-type options come back into play. We are getting closer to the end of the "window" where the swelling usually gets bad, so that's a plus.

Last night he ate his first solid food since he threw up on Monday: Mashed potatoes, mac n' cheese, and lemon jello.

He is still in the ICU, with no talk of moving him for now. But, he is up taking a walk with the nurse right this very moment. Last night his siblings came in and visited (Less Alex who will be here tomorrow), and he was very responsive and enjoyed it. He even had permission from the Stake President to watch the Maverick/Heat game. He is still a missionary, after all.

Today we should learn more about what is coming up, and I will pass the information on to you.
