Herk is still in CPAP since yesterday and tolerating, they lowered the settings a bit today but he was breathing quick again so the put them back up. He is alert and moves his left side with intent (scratch his face or to adjust in bed) but still not actively participating in therapy or following commands, only moves for his own comfort. He is getting some pain meds to relax the rest of the night since he was stimulated a lot today.
Tomorrow visitation will be 12-4 only so therapy can work with him as needed and he can rest after all the stimulation.
I hate to break it to my sister in law's bubble of hope, but that is not alert. That is awake. And that's not up to conscious.
Damn, damn, damn.
