It's a new Day

Dad got some good sleep last night. He is more responsive today answering questions and following commands on both sides of his body. He wants to go fishing in a boat when he gets out of here. He said it is 1974, the years are changing for him, but that is good he is connecting memories. He pulled his feeding tube out. They tried an oral feed with water and applesauce. He can handle thickened liquids but fatigues quickly. They need to reinsert the feeding tube in his nose becasue he can't get enough nutrients orally until he is stronger. He giggled when nurse tayna told him he was getting pink in his cheeks, both sets. It's a new day!
