We had a feeling that he was being trixy, and he was!
He pulled out his ventilator!
Apparently he figured he was done with that.
The nurse said that he is doing so well, that they are leaving it out for now and hopefully for good!!
The nurse said "Rich, how are you feeling? Can I get you anything?"
"Good.... water and sports."
Very froggy sounding, but as clear as you can get after having a tube down your throat for almost a week.
He got the sports but can't have the water.
A sucker maybe? Do they keep those in the ICU?
She gestured to my mom (who apparently screamed when she walked in and saw that the ventilator was gone) and said, "Richard, who is this?"
"That is my wife, Michelle."
He still cannot have visitors, but he did
get to hear some grand kids on the phone.
"Papa! I having juice! Lets swing!"
I wouldn't be surprised if my mom was walking around
the hospital hugging everyone!
It had been a bit of a dismal morning, I think that this news at lunch time has us all rather elated!!
Soo happy to hear!!
