Bob is good today. He is listening to music all day. Physical Therapy tuckers him out. When this is all said and done, Bob will be the poster child for health.
Today is a high stress day for me. It was two weeks ago, tonight, that he went back to the ICU for the second time. Two weeks ago, he was moved from ICU to 10K on a Monday; admitted to room 8, had physical therapy on a Tuesday, slept on Wednesday, and back to the ICU at 2am. And now, he was moved from ICU on Monday, admitted to room 8, had physical therapy on tuesday and wednesday...I'm sleeping here tonight!
I feel, this time, he looks better than before. During physical therapy today, he was mouthing words a mile a minute. His trach is preventing him from making any sound, but that will change soon. I told him he can ride his Harley tomorrow. He just shook his head and had a look of disappointment. The physical therapist explained to him what happened to him. He seemed to undertstand. He had a look of "Oh shit!"
He's lost about 70 pounds. I guess, he can vouch for the liquid diet; but, I'm sure a big steak would taste good right now.
If I haven't said it already, thank you everyone for your prayers, love, and support. Even if I did, I can't say it enough. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
