12/22 - evening

The pentobarb is done, and the bolt is out.  We are no longer relying on the ICP monitor since they're not measuring that anymore.  Because of that, we do not know what the CPP is either.  We have been told that it will take a long time for the pentobarb to get out of his system, but this kid has the metabolism of a hummingbird, so I'm guessing sooner rather than later.  

 As I said before, this is all both good and bad.  The hardest part right now is the sheer terror of not knowing.  The ICP monitor was becoming a serious crutch, but I miss it a little.  We are hoping to have some answers soon.  Please continue to pray.  We would not be surviving this hell without you.  Please know that you are carrying us and Sam through this time.  Thank you.
