Saturday Feb 28 - Day Five

Today was a quiet day. Dick had a lot of activity yesterday so his nurses were not going to bother him too much today. Family were allowed to talk to him and see if he would respond to their voices but other than that he was just left to rest. Although at 2:30p they did talk about changing his ICP drain, it had not been done by 5p. He looks a lot better since they have inserted the trach and removed the intabation tube. Dick's friend from Miami visited today, he would be happy about that. We know the rest is good for him but we are all anxious for him to open his eyes and acknowledge us. We have been told that when he wakes up he may not know any of us right away. That is a little scary. But thankfully, he will not remember the accident either..... but we will.
