thanks all! Yup he's back in the hospital. IV Dilaudid helps with the pain, but I hope he gets som sleep. He's in a special Neuro unit which is quiet, dark, and seems to provide excellent care. Turns out his TBI is actually minor - 15 on GCS - except for that pesky fracture and sub arachnoid bleeding. But a second ct showed that that is resolving. So we are on the right track. I hope it all heals completely, and we can avoid PCS. Is there anything we can do to avoid it? Or does that just happen to a lucky group of folks?
