Good morning:
Got to the Brigham at 6:00 and found out from he nurses that Greg had actually gotten some sleep last night. Great news...as he has not had much over the past three weeks.
Greg has become somewhat of a rock star here. Not only for what he has endured, but for his rapid progress. The ritual of neuro evaluations throughout the day are showing some amazingly positive signs that according to the Drs far exceed expectations. The movement on his suspect right side has made a great turnaround.
With any luck, the drain, will be weened down, ultimately removed by the end of the week. This may be his ticket out of the ICU to a regular bed. Hard to imagine the journey he has been on.
He is having a difficult time verbalizing, finding the right word, and he has minimal short term memory. The staff sees this as normal for the trauma he has gone through. Although it is sometimes difficult for us to witness his sense of confusion, we look at every day positively and with great optimism. How can we not... We know him!!!
Have a great day!
Mike
