It's been a full week since Dad fell. In some ways, it seems like yesterday, but then you begin to think what all we've experienced in a week, and it seems much longer. Your words of encouragement and prayers are tremendous and we thank you for that.
Dad is neurologically holding at about the same spot. We will probably hear more later today about the test results. He was put through the ringer this morning, but with some good things in addition to the tests. He's been bathed and shampooed, teeth brushed, and everything changed from head to foot. Even when you're sedated, that's got to feel better.
Also, the pulmonary specialist once again pulled back on the ventilator to let Dad try and do some of the work on his own, and Dad apparently did better this go around than the last time. I think they are going to continue to try and wean him off slowly. They raise and lower his sedation level to help keep him rested until his body is ready to start taking over again.
