Thursday morning, my mom called to say he had opened his eyes wide for her, moved some toes, fingers, etc....all of which were very good signs. He impressed all the doctors, and gave us all some new found hope.
Friday was not so good, but the doctors told us there would be plenty of ups and downs. They had to put the oxygen back in his nose, as his saturation level was dropping.
This weekend saw a lot of success all across the board. He is back on his own breathing, he is beginning to get some words out. Saturday was the most touching, when my mom went to go home and leaned over to give him a kiss, and said "I love you". He replied back with a very good attempt, that sounded much like and "I love you"...my mom's water works were in full affect.
Sunday morning he was crying. Not like he did with me on Wednesday....this was a full blown cry. His nurse, who has been amazing, totally lost it, as did my mom. They are convinced this was due to his bowel movement...the first all week. I mean, nobody likes to poop the bed...I would cry too....but, it needed to be done...and the rest of the day saw much improvements. His eyes were half opened for most of the day....and they finally moved him out of the ICU to the top floor where he has an amazing view now. Today he is scheduled for another surgery that will insert a tube directly into his stomach, since he was being fed through a tube in his nose...and he did not like it. He has had a nasty case of the hiccups which is no doubt producing some acid reflux...as he moans loudly during these occurances. They believe this surgery will reduce that, and they can completely remove all tubes from his upper body....which will be awesome.
