Monday

it's me again!
last night was again a little rough for michael. he
actually tired getting out of the bed and fell. they
checked him out thoroughly and did another ct scan to
make sure there wasn't any more damage to his head.
all checked out. yeah! so of course they had to
restrain him again the rest of the night and give him
several doses of pain medication to keep him calm.
today was another small step forward. he was able to
rest some without pain medication! he actually didn't
have any all day from 6:30am till about 9:00 tonight.
he needed a dose tonight to calm down again since he
kept trying to get out of the bed. the anxiousness
seemed to subside a bunch which was great to see.
let's pray that continues. he did talk to us some, but
is still confused. he definitely knows who he is and
who we are, but not real sure what is going on. he
continued to say some random things today too. he
also had some vision problems seeing double (which he
may have had earlier since his eyes were never open
enough to really notice before). he did eat some
today which was good. he even was able to hold a cup
of water and get the straw in his mouth. yeah! we
are celebrating even the smallest accomplishments.
michael also had an mri done today, but we didn't get
the results back yet which i'm assuming is good news
or we would have heard. let's pray it's good news.
he still has a long way to go. i am trusting God will
give me patience as i want things to move so much
quicker. please pray for understanding for michael.
i think it would ease his mind, letting him recover
even faster. selfishly it would make it easier for me
too, as it's so hard to watch him be confused. and
pray for rest too please. it has already seemed like
we've been doing this for at least a week or more and
it's only day three. may God in his infinite power
give us rest even though we never stop to take it. my
God is a big enough for anything and mighty enough to
carry us all! i am so thankful!
love,
