This morning Blair was off the ventilator for 3 hours straight. He was also sitting up in his chair for 4 hours. He complained to the respiratory nurse that his butt hurt repeatedly - yet he still made it through the 4 hours. He will sit up again later this afternoon.
At 3:00 pm he was back off the ventilator for at least 3 more hours. He's pretty tired today as he had a work out this morning and they want him to keep working to improve, so I let him rest most of the afternoon.
He did get to see his grandparents in NY today and he waved at them (over 'face-time'). They were very happy to see his eyes open!!
I asked him to smile for a picture for his sister, Sam, cause she is leaving on a cruise & always tells him how good he looks. He smiled with teeth & all for a picture to send her. He'd do anything for his "Mimi". (And so will I - I get to tell him daily just how "good he looks" for her!)
His memory is scattered and the last few years are only there in pieces. He remembers Cumberland Valley schools and Wrestling but didn't recall York High - yet he does recognize some people he's met in the last year - so maybe it's just coming back slowly. I write this so that if you visit him - please just understand if he doesn't remember something - you don't need to worry about it. He knows everyone visiting him is here because they love him and want him to keep getting better. He will remember everything in time - and if not - we can all help fill in the blanks!!
