December 8- day88

UPDATE- SATURDAY EVENING 12/8

Today was another good day for Jeff. He was able to write today and it was legible. He has tried to write in the past and no one could read it. We played tic-tac-toe and hang man. The nurse said that it would be good for his fine motor skills to write as much as possible. He was off the ventilator for about 13 hours today. The respiratory tech said that each day they would increase the number of hours off the ventilator and use the trach mask. Jeff realizes how long he has been in teh hospital but he does not remember most of it. Nurses would stop by to speak to him and he would ask me if they had been his nurse.

He is very anxious to go to rehab and keeps asking how long he will have to be in rehab. I keep telling him to take it one day at a time. He has not lost his faith. He wants people to pray with him. He is not angry. He has not asked why me? He is an incredible person.
