steady improvement and a favor....

Barb asked me to update the blog tonight. When I stopped by to see Craig this evening, they had obviously decreased his sedation. His eyes were open when I walked in the room and he was alert for minutes at a time. He couldn't stay awake long because he is still fairly sedated, but there was no question that he knew I was there and he could nod a bit if I asked him a direct question, etc. He even sort of waved his hand goodbye when I told him I was leaving. So, things are going slow, but they are steadily improving. There is no plans for any future OR trips and so they are hoping to be able to take out the breathing tube in the next couple of days.

Now for the favor. The nurse had asked him earlier if he wanted to watch TV, but he had nodded his head no. I think he is still way to sedated to be able to watch a show. However, I asked him if I should bring in some of his music and he seemed to like that idea. Does anyone have an inexpensive, small CD player they wouldn't mind leaving in the hospital for a while? I picked up some of his CDs at his house and thought I could have some music for him if he wanted it. I just don't have anything like that. Thanks!
