THAT'S MA BOY
Had a rough night, but got back to the hospital in time for the 6:00 AM visitation. Was ecstatic to see John's eyes sleepy, but open. And he recognized me! He still has the tube down his throat, and can't talk, but he made hand motions to the nurse and she brought him a pen and paper. With his left hand, no less, he managed to scrawl I WANT BBQ! And I started boo-hooing.

I'm crying too! That's great, great news! Thanks for sharing. xo
That's a boy with his priorities straight! What a relief to hear about his overnight improvement; woke up with an appetite already. You take care of yourself (rest, liquids, exercise, etc). Thank you so very much for the updates. Stay strong; our thoughts are with you both.
Actually, I'm sure he had no real desire for food of any sort, since he still had the ventilator tube down his throat. That was just his way of showing me that he was hanging in there, and wanted to see me smile. Unfortunately, my hopes and expectations zoomed to the stratosphere after that, so I was really crushed the next two visits when he was totally out of it again. Looks like he'll be in ICU a bit longer.
Hang tough. It's a long road. It will get better...
We're all thinking of you and sending virtual Salt Lick his way.

Times like this are tough, but it really makes us realize our inner strength! Make sure to take care of you, as he will need you both in and out of the hospital!
Breathe in and out and smile with-in...the power of positive healing in amazing!
