waking up

Hello everyone!

Well it sure has been a roller coaster ride for the last few months but we have never lost hope. Today they have started weeing dad off of the sedation and plan to try to get him off the breathing machine tomorrow. The doctors seem hopeful although it is still a waiting game. He is following short commands such as wiggle your toes, squeeze my hand, and can shake his head yes or no so he is still there!!!

He did have a few episodes today of petite mal seizures but they lasted maybe a minute and then were over. Dad said he knew they were coming on when he nodded his head yes after we asked him if he began to feel weird before they happened.

I think we will have some more information tomorrow after the breathing trails happen...keep praying and sending great thoughts!
