Today


I am pretty tired at this point, so this might be a pretty short post. I will try to remember everything that happened today...

One big thing for Randy today ~ he got the trumpet taken out of his nose. The trumpet has been in since they took the breathing tube out to make sure that his airway stayed open because of his facial fractures. Randy had no issues breathing once they took it out. He seemed to rest so much more comfortably. I am sure that thing had to be incredibly uncomfortable!!

They also switched out his catheter to some type of thing that doesn't go directly into the bladder, so he will get to essentially chose now when he needs to go rather than just having his bladder automatically drained. By the time that we had left the hospital, though, he still had not chosen to do anything.

Randy spent a good part of the day resting. He was alert for a little while and to me, he seemed a little more responsive to people than before. He gave his dad quite a few hugs before had to leave. He also leaned up to kiss me when I got close to talk to him. It feels like he is a little more there every day.
