Dad had a pretty decent day. He is still in ICU, but will hopefully be out in a day or two. It looks like his pneumonia, fever, heart rate, and blood pressure are all under control. Hopefully he will be moved back to the regular facility within a few days to resume therapy.
He had his fishing buddies and an old friend visit him today and they had him laughing pretty good. It was great to see! His responses and alertness are great; he follows you well, makes good eye contact, and pays attention to what you're saying (when he wants).
It's amazing how far he has come. One of his nurses today stated that she's been in the same Nexus facility for years and has seen it all. She reminded us to persevere and gave a lot of explanation about the amount of time it takes for the brain to heal and it's limitless potential.
Keep persevering!
