"tall guy in a little bed.... tall guy in a little bed!"..... if anyone has seen Tommy Boy
Over 12 hours without his pain killer and guess what? Good things are happening!
The nurse was showing my sister just how swollen his left side was and opened his eye for him - his left must weigh bricks - but she opened it for him and he was able to keep it open! Wow!! He was able to hold all the pictures that are hung up behind his bed! Charlotte handed them to him one by one and he held them by himself and looked at them with both eyes!
He was very active! He is doing all he can to lay flat in his bed. He must hate that 30 degree angle because he is scooting down so he can lay more comfortably. Also she said that he is doing everything in his power to pull out his breathing tube. He wiggles down and follows his restraining straps with his hands, and is tugging on them and scooting his head down to pull that thing out! We have a Houdini! Not only that, but his gag reflex seems to be coming back full throttle and he is starting to cough and gag on it! This isn't torture, those are the signs that indicate that the breathing tube won't be necessary much longer. The nurse says we are well on our way and we are keeping our fingers crossed!!
Matthew went after work and gave Daddy a blessing. He gave Matthew's hand a big squeeze. He was tired by that time.
Mom was laughing at what a conniving guy he is and warned the nurses that he would find a way to pull out his breathing tube and that they should watch him closely!!
Goodness! Things were feeling so heavy, and not that things have improved a lot, but this is all great news!!
Hurray! Daddy is gagging!.....
Thank you for your prayers and your thoughts! Only a few hours into this fast and already we are seeing so many wonderful things! This long road ahead doesn't seem so rough tonight!!
