David was sleepy this am again. When I went to his room, his throat was aggitated from popping/breaking the cuff on the trachea. The Respiratory Therapist decided not to cap the trachea but to keep moisture flowing over his throat/trachea. Despite him not being capped, David still was able to talk some. Physical Therapy was great. Mitchell is amazing! He stood at a table and reached for objects on his left side with Kelli and me. Next he rode a bike from the wheelchair that told him how much work his legs were doing, versus the machine. At one point his left leg was pushing 17%. Finally, he walked with a walker about 20 feet to Kelli. She got the biggest hug from him. We were all cheering. Now, mind you it took him quite awhile to get there, and one of the therapists was behind him helping with moving his left leg and foot. I can't wait to figure out how to get videos on here of all these events. Plus, right now, I don't have a computer. I am using the spinal cord patients' computer in their rec. hall. That's why it is taking awhile to get these blogs on, sorry. I guess we are all learning patience! Kelli had to leave at 2 pm and David was definitely depressed. :-( In the afternoon, David seemed to be hallucinating. He told Laura, "Call mom and tell her to meet me outside." He wanted to go home. Laura talked to him about how God has a plan for him and it wasn't to leave right now. After a few minutes of convincing, David nodded. He had several incidents where he hit a nurse, and was out of control. Please pray for these incidents, and also that the nurses would continue to have patience with him.
