"I have to poop!"

This is a picture of Brian walking me down the aisle, hopefully he will be walking again soon! Today is another great day. I haven't been to the hospital yet today but our Brian is still moving forward. Last night was awesome, he saw PT and actually sat at the side of his bed. This to us is phenomenal, they take a man who's heart stopped, was frozen to ninety degrees and paralyzed with medications, sedated because a machine was breathing for him and they can sit him upright at the side of the bed six days later? He did have some set backs like pulling out the tube in his nose twice yesterday and having to get two chest xrays to confirm placement. We tried to warn them, he is feisty. The physical therapist did tell us to remind him to look right at us when talking to him because he is having difficulties tracking. He had speech therapy see him as well, they gave him some ice chips and will try to evaluate him every day until he can swallow on his own. He still has a terrible cough that they are treating with a different antibiotic because the culture wasn't sensitive the to previous one. He is off all oxygen as of this morning. He is still in and out and falls asleep mid conversation but last night he puckered up and gave mom and I a big kiss. It was adorable. His mannerisms are still there. This morning the nurse was very positive because he was initiating conversation and he even told the nurse he had to poop and they used a bedpan. When he does go to a rehab facility he most likely won't be in Kitsap County the neurologist that took over form Dr. Bright said that none of the facilities around here would meet his needs. So we are just doing it, moving forward and not looking back. Thanks again for all the support!
