Dad has been off the ventilator all day so far. His vitals remain good but he is not very alert today which is different from yesterday. Previously when they had withdrawn the Propofol he was awake and alert almost immediately. Today, he's had some periods of alertness but mostly just been sleeping. The doctor has ordered a new drug to help him wake, as well as a change in antibiotic to better deal with the secretion in the lungs.

A new CT scan is on order to make sure that there have been no changes within the brain that we should worry about.
