3 weeks today

We can't believe it's 3 weeks today. Time has flown by. I must share some good news with all of you.  I called my mom at home last night and she was happy to tell me that the physical therapy team came in and sat him on the side of the bed. His eyes were open, he was alert, recognized mom and held her hand. He followed simple commands and even tried to mouth some words. Too weak to sit on his own but at least they were able to wake him up. Mom said she was excited and that it made her day.
I just spoke to his doctor. Today is the last day for his medications. They should be moving him out of ICU and into a private room next to the ICU wing. This is called the transition holding stage until we determine what type of facility he'll need to go to. The good news is that the real danger is over. Can things still happen? Sure they can, but as far as his stroke is concerned, all has healed according to his neurologist. We're still not at the point of having visitors only because he is still sleeping/resting and nurses don't want distractions. We're still not clear as to the amount of confusion he'll have once he does wake up. Time heals all wounds. We shall wait and see what today brings.  We thank you for all of your prayers and emails.
