Finally

Good news this week, Harri finally got rid of the cast. It was replaced by a splint that can be removed for bathing. He had his first good night sleep last night. We are getting more ABR done, because of better positioning.
We will have to interrupt his sleep for a short hospital stay this week, Tuesday and maybe Wednesday nights. They will be performing EEG tests during his sleep to eliminate epilepsy as a part of his neurology problems.
We also met with a new neurologist to discuss DBS (deep brain stimulation) as a possible treatment option for Harri's recovery. Unfortunately there is not enough evidence or research into this treatment for brain injuries yet. But the Doctor believes that there will be lots of development in this area over the next 3 to 5 years. There is a small chance that this could be a possibility for Harri.
