Sorry for the delay. I'm adjusting to working all day and going to the hospital in the evening and then trying to sleep.
Anyway, Thursday Blair was exercising by sitting up in the chair and breathing without the vent hooked up or giving him pressure. He has to do these exercises a couple times today in order to build up strength. He's doing very well. When we went into see him last night he was able to answer questions by writing out answers and tell us where he was experiencing pain.
He wrote that he wants to return to school at Cumberland Valley. It will take quite some time for that to happen - but I'm happy that he wants to get back into school!! I'm sure it's more about his social life than academics - but it's a positive either way!!
He has to sit in the chair 3 hours or more twice daily. It's important he get rest in between so he can continue to progress. Answering questions by writing takes a lot of energy and focus too. So if he falls asleep on any visitors - don't be offended. 🙂
