Sunday night

We've had a great day - Matt's making lots of little steps and is looking better and better. He's completely exhausted and is sleeping a lot, but when he is awake, he is watching us (at least on the left side) and interacting pretty well. His head is still slightly swollen, but its gone down some. His right hand is a little less swollen as well which will hopefully clear up some more once physical therapy starts this week.

Last night he was trying so hard to say things and I think that I could make out some of it. He didn't try much today, but he was so tired. They've got him squeezing his hand twice when they ask if he is in pain and they'll give him pain meds if he responds. He's still coughing some from the pneumonia and he'll take the suction tube from the nurse and try to suction his mouth. His breathing sounds so much better though, so hopefully he won't have to do that too much longer.

Hopefully we'll get to see the doctors tomorrow to find out more about his feeding tube and future plans for his stay on the neuro floor. I'll keep you posted.
