One of the big issues Taylor is facing is intracranial pressure (ICP). The head injury Taylor suffered caused the pressure to rise, so it's something the medical staff constantly monitors.
Several procedures were done, and certain medications given, to reduce the pressure.
One of the procedures was to put Taylor in a medically induced coma so that he would have as little stimulation as possible. We were told that we should not talk to him, stroke his hands or do anything that might stimulate his brain. Doing so may increase the pressure.
This is just a temporary situation until the pressure subsides.
