Another great day so far!!!

Jake here today for Carrie while she's at work. Adam was relatively unchanged throughout the night. His temperature came down a little and he was on pain meds for the majority of the night for his headache. Said a couple times "that's weird." Wouldn't let me hold his hand but was okay with my hand on his arm! Typical Adam...too macho for that! :) This morning the docs saw him and they have no majors changes for him right now. Want to let him recover a little more before they move him to an acute floor. He also got a visit from therapy. They sat him up in bed and was able to balance himself with some help. They wanted to stand him up but he told them "no." Defiant as usual! :) They then put him in a chair and while there he pulled at his restraints, wrestled with me trying to get his feeding tube out, (apparently he already pulled it out once today) and was crossing his legs and trying to push himself up in the chair to get more comfy. Hasn't talked much to us but the staff says he's a little easier to understand today. Hasn't opened his eyes yet, but I'm certain it's coming, when he's ready. Thanks again for everyone's support and prayers, they're certainly helping! That's all for now...

  1. We continue our daily prayers for Adam's recovery. Next time you're there Jake, put some wings at the bottom of the bed, he'll be up in NO TIME!!! On a more serious note, we're glad he's progressing and it's the least we can do is pray, but yet powerful. Peace for you and your family too, Bob.
