Our friend is known for being talkative BUT WOW. He is making up for 9 days of No Talking. All the sentences don't make sense but then they never did. Honestly folks, this is as close to a miracle as I have ever seen. A month from now I am going to let him know how much all of you had to do with his recovery. Wednesday I met with the oldest child about what her options were when the ventilator was removed. Thursday morning at 7:30 she called a said to rush to the hospital. When I got there she was in the room with him by herself and he was babbling away trying to make sense. When I got close to the bed he grabbed me and pulled me over into the bed. He has been improving hourly since then. Thanks to all of you for caring about this fine man. He deserved another shot at life.
