Visiting the old man. He got transferred to step down last night. He is the talk of the monitored units. Not often you get a patient who codes, extubates himself and two days later is zinging the staff with wise crack responses. He is pretty out of it, but will wake up for an ice chip. He suctions his own mouth, and also uses the yankauer to scratch his shoulders. Hey...I call that a plus for neuro function. Swallowing is still no bueno. Hope he can make some progress there because he does like to eat, and it wont be long before he is asking for fried chicken. Heaven help the nurse who has him when he starts the Ill go get it myself! He has a long road in front of him, but based on his progress and determination, hes gonna show that road whats what! I have to mention that feeling helpless and guilty isnt just reserved to parents of kids who are having a tough time. It is hard to be far away as a child too. But I have to tell you the measure of peace I feel having seen for myself how attentive and protective my sister is. Janice Tyner Anderson, you are amazing!!! Thanks again everyone for your thoughts and prayers. The positive energy is palpable and better than any medicine!
