If this is a roller coaster, I really want to get off.

He actually had a great night and has been sleeping well the last couple of days. The problem is, he is having a hard time waking up.  He needs to be more awake before they can take the breathing tube out. This morning he was a little more sleepy than usual, so they rushed him off to get another CT scan. They were a little concerned that the bleed on his brain had started bleeding again, and this is why he can't seem to wake up. This was quickly ruled out and his blood work looks good, so they think he is just exhausted. Also, the doctor said that when someone has had a stroke like he has; they are often very sleepy for a couple of months. Hopefully he is getting some good healing time in while he is sleeping. Everything else looks pretty good. His white count is going down, and there is no sign of infection. Also, the rest of his swelling is finally starting to go down. I hope and pray that he wakes up soon so he can take physical/occupational therapy more seriously.  And I could seriously use a hug!
