Today Dad was a little quieter, he is doing quite well still. He was wide awake, just didn't seem as coherent. He had been in the chair quite a while and is exhausted. He would still nod and try to mouth words, just didn't seem as alert. He indicated that he wasn't in pain, just that he was uncomfortable. He doesn't like anything on his feet, so while we are there I will take his foam boots off, he wiggles the toes on his left foot and smiles. I was putting balm on his feet tonight the right one was jerking and twitching, which is a good thing, the reflexes are there and active. His right arm is still just there.
Last night they had to take him off straight oxygen and back on CPAP. Dad has to hold above a certain oxygen level for 48 hours, they will start it again in the AM. The nurse said not to let it get us down, he is doing great.
Dad is indicating that he is BORED and wants to get out of there. When we ask if needs or wants anything, he smiles, I say other than go home he shakes his head no. We can tell and we know that my Dad is still inside there, he just needs to find his way out.
Please keep the prayers and positive thoughts flowing his way....
Love to All
