The doctors did a 3rd Cat Scan, and found that the cranial bleeding was reduced. However, there was still too much swelling of the brain. Therefore, a nuerosurgeon came in to place a "bolt", or ICP monitor in Matt's head. This allowed them to monitor the swelling, so they could react quickly, if necessary.
We were told that Matt was not "out of the woods", and would not be for several days. The brain is a complicated thing and it is hard to know how one will react. The doctor told us to stay strong, but to keep in mind that this situation could "go either way". They also told us that this could be a very long jouney and Matt may be in ICU for several weeks. It wasn't the news we wanted to hear, but we remained positive.
(Ian, the brother-in-law, arrived later that night. He had just left for Texas on Friday, however, arranged to fly back home asap.)
