He is finally free of the ventilator and the tube down his throat!  This is great news but also has its setbacks. He had become increasingly irritated with the ventilator tube so even after it was out he continued with a little higher blood pressure and a fast beating heart. It took time and a few different drugs to get him calmed down but he finally did. As soon as he was able he started asking "why does my chest hurt?" and "why can't I move?"  These are obvious questions to me and everyone else but to him it's a different story. This is the first time he has really complained about pain so I'm thinking he is becoming even more aware and his mind is clearing.  He has been told numerous times today by many how much better he looks. He only seems to know from now....and he feels horrible!  Hopefully as time goes by and he gets more mobility he will feel better.  He is so incredibly weak.
