They are putting in the trach and feeding tube directly into his stomach now. No changes since yesterday in regards to movement or alertness. Unless significant changes happen in the next day or so, he will most likely be moved to a long term acute care facility so he can continue rebuilding his strength to a point where he can withstand up to 3 hours physical therapy a day. Once he is at that point he will be moved to an acute rehab facility for long term rehab. So it's likely by the end of this week we will be moving to another facility, just not sure which one yet, hoping he can go straight to rehab!

  1. Here's hoping the nutrition makes him stronger. Is he past most of the risk for further brain injury?

  2. I don't think he's taking more damage. It's just the damage done is pretty severe.

    I think Sis in Law is getting her hopes up and my natural tendency is to be a pessimist.

    We're at the "he could be like this forever" slash "he could wake up tomorrow" phase.

    I've known too many people with head injuries and I don't know a single one that came off the trach and feeding tube.

    Fucking dammit.
