The good thing is, Josh is doing a lot better than the first day he was admitted to the ICU! He has definitely made improvements! :) He is still currently in a coma state, however. Lately, he has been opening his eyes quite frequently, but its just a blank stare. The doctors/nurses rate him on his level of consciousness from 3-15 (a.k.a. the Glasgow Coma Scale).. three is being in a deep coma and fifteen is being very conscious and alert. Josh is barely at an 8, which is considered on the border line of 'severe' ~ 9 to 12 is considered 'moderate' and 13 to 15 is 'minor'. ~ The more things he's capable of doing, the higher up the scale he goes! His Step Dad advised me that Josh was previously at a 6 earlier on this week. So lets hope it keeps moving up, which I have a feeling it will! :) In the meantime, Josh is going to be moving out of the Shock trauma-ICU very soon and he would no longer be considered in a 'critical' stage!
