The nurses are falling in love

Dad's charming side is showing to all of the nurses. He giggles with them and gives them great smiles. If he continues at this rate with no more bumps he could move to a regular room in the next day or two. Still have lots to improve but we may be getting close to passing the hardest spot. He was singing and dancing his toes to an infomercial about old music. Very Cute. Were getting him a radio to listen to. He wants to get out of bed and the restraints frustrate him. He was trying to get out of the chair they placed him in and the only thing that worked was bribery. He would settle if I gave him an ice chip. When I told him to stop fighting with me he said,"I won't fight with you if I get my way." Jason sneaks to give him more ice chips when the nurses aren't looking. One won't hurt will it? How can you say no to can I have more water please. It has been a good day. Much to celebrate.

  1. Why does it not surprise me that he is flirting with the nurses...he is getting better!!! I think bribery is a good thing at this point.It will truly be a day to celebrate when he can go to another room!!!! You two are doing a great job keeping him motivated!!
