Good Evening! After a wonderful first Testimony meeting at our new Ward, the Galena Ward, I was off to see Marion. It was terrific, his body was working QUITE well Raul, his nurse for the day told me, and Marion had his eyes open. In fact Pat and Mike Nicholls, friends from Mogul Ward came to visit, and he opened his eyes for them as well. This was more awake than he had been since the 23rd, the day after his surgery. A step in the right direction. Now if he will wake up enough to be strong enough to cough and swallow and be able to breathe, and remember to breathe without the ventilator, that is the goal the doctor is aiming for at this point.
He was trying to speak words at times, but the tube really inhibited that effort! I'll let you know what the steps forward tomorrow brings. Hope everyone had a good night's sleep. Love, Sue
