Sunday Morning!! What a difference a night makes!! Jay had a good night. Slept peacefully. Pneumonia is better. All vital signs and monitor readings exactly where we want them to be. Better living through chemistry! Jay is being weaned off many of these medications as his own system takes over these vital chemical balances and functions.

He's aware, oriented, speaking, and more restful. The doctors say he needs rest to get this brain injury healed. He's still keeps asking for a shower, to get out of bed, for water, Sprite and grapes. Unfortunately none of those small pleasures are in the cards for today. No liquids until the pneumonia is cleared up and they do swallow studies to make sure we're ready for liquids and then food.

The great news is that he's making progress. The doctors are really pleased and say we'll see more progress everyday. Today I finally feel more relaxed and greatly relieved, but because patience is a virtue I have very little of, my mind rushes off into the future. When can we get back to our lives? Soon I hope.
