John is doing so well. Yesterday I went to the hospital before going to work. He was alert, and they said they were going slow on the T so they didn't wear him out, and they made him walk(with lots of help) to his chair, and they checked the range of motion on his
arms. He can move one side a little easier then the other. They turned his chair around so he could "view out the window". I thought view was few the other
day, as I'm not perfect at reading lips. Pretty good though. And they told me he slept pretty well the previous evening, and he said he woke up after i left and couldn't go right back to sleep, but he did eventually. He likes me to stay until he's asleep,
before I leave. I went back after work, and sat with him till around 11:30 and I thought he was sleeping. He got another new bed and this one was not noisy. He said it was more compfortable also.
I was able to get to the hospital around 9:30 this morning to sit with him and they had done his eating test again, and he failed again. Heather, his nurse again today, told me he had a vocal cord in the way of his swallowing. They weren't going to retry the test for a couple of weeks, and see if it improves on it's own. They didn't know if he would need to be seen by an ear/nose/throat docter later, or if if was possibly paralized, or just swollen from the intibation/trache, but it shouldn't intefear in his breathing, or
talking. Today John will be on the T for 6 hours, rest for 2 on the vent then go back on it for 6 hours. Sit in a chair again, of course. He is very alert,
and I questioned him and he knows the equivalent of pie to the 6th decimal, which he always did, and I had to actually look up to see if he was correct.
3.142857. he was. He also said he wanted to be out of the hospital and married by his birthday. I agree.
And he knew when that was, and seems to remember important things, and really how well can I test him? He wants to actually get married(the "m" word we call it) in the hospital. I'll give him some time for that.
