Last night Hope came to stay with me so was able to get a lot of dad time in. It was good to see he recognized her and seemed very excited to see her. He even winked at her. At some point I was standing there holding his hand and Stan opened his hand pulled away and opened his hand to Hope. She was thrilled! She has always been a daddy's girl and has had a hard time knowing and seeing how sick he has been. I'm not sure how much aware he truly was but what a blessing a hand squeeze and a wink did for our sweet Hope. We know that he is really in there; a little foggy but definitely still there :). As his brain heals he should gain more of a clear mind but he has been through an awful lot.
Not too much change today. They are trying to slowly ween him off the ventilator. Yesterday they introduced some new heart meds and he has done very well on them. Physical therapy came in and got him sitting in a chair! They had to secure him in but, sitting is sitting. Yeah!! His muscles are very weak so his movement is slow but we are glad to see that he has some movement. He is able to move his legs and is getting to have a good thumbs up for the doctors. His doctor said that he could be many months before he will get his strength back (both physically and mentally) but time will tell. As long as he continues to recover I can wait as long as he needs! I love you Stan!
