25 days later

Brian is practically steady and walking alone. He is still a fall risk because of his confusion. He is getting better with asking questions and saying, "What the hell is going on?" He realized something serious happened to him and he is putting all the pieces together. Mom has been with him since Tuesday night, I work tomorrow and hopefully she will come home with me and then back Friday morning together, since I work Friday too. His expected day of discharge is the 3rd of February and will need 24 hour care when home. We think he is almost ready to come home just need to work on the speech therapy and how his brain works. He is more and more lucid everyday and it is getting better with time, really it hasn't even been a month. No one ever thought that he would ever be this well. We just pray he comes back a little more cognitively. He doesn't want cigarettes or alcohol at all now. I think the family not drinking around him will be the hardest part. So continued prayers are much appreciated. Brian's heart is completely healthy and has no damage of cardiomyopathy like they thought which is very good. So now we just wait for his brain to reboot.
