Update

T was just able to push the nurses hands away with both feet. He was able to squeeze her hand and mine with his hands. They’ve bumped the sedation meds down by .2 overnight. He’s starting to sound more like himself but just very groggy. He keeps asking where he’s at and we keep telling him. When he gets to be more with it and less groggy he’ll be able to understand where he is and won’t ask that question over and over each time he wakes. He’s making progress even though it’s baby steps but I’ll take any progress we can get right now. When he gets more with it and doesn’t require as much constant care they’ll move him from PICU to the Peds area. And as they feel he’s strong enough they’ll probably let him go home. You can’t believe the incredibly huge relief I’ve been having as the night has went on. We’ve slept as T has slept and I’ve been up each time the nurse has come in which has been every couple of hours. 

Scot got me this neck pillow yesterday so I could sleep in the recliner. Scot’s been sleeping on the couch bed to get his sleep.
