Hi all;
TJ was moved from ICU this evening (8/11) at 7:00PM. He made the transition well and slept through the short ride to a regular room. His BP was spiking for a couple of days but today was good. He began saying words yesterday we could understand. The first one being BARB. What a birthday gift. Later he asked “How are you?” I told him I was tired but fine. He said several other things. He was fidgety and couldn’t stay comfortable in bed. He kept dropping his legs over the side like he was getting up. I asked him where he was going and he said, “Home”.
Today the words increased and he said people’s names as they visited. Said many other words some not understandable but most sentences had a word or two which helped us understand what he was wanting to say. He was able to make me understand he wanted a Quilt. He was cold so after a sheet, warmed blanket and a heaver blanket he got content and went off to sleep. He is gaining strength in his hands and has a firm grip again. His legs are strong but not good control of the right one yet. His back seems very strong. He is still on the feeding tube, anti seizure medicine, BP med, and such. All goes through the Pick line or feeding tube. He says he is not in pain.
Long days and late evenings but wanted you all to know the Dr. says he will be fine. Thanks for your visits, cards and prayers.
Love to you all ~ Barb
(Visiting restrictions have been removed in his new room._

Great!!!!!!! I was worried about him when I didn't see a "TJ REPORT" last night. I'm so happy that he is starting to communicate again. Yep, I'll bet he is itching to get home and in his own bed.
