Last two days

This will encompass the last two days: Sunday, Mom and Dave spent the morning with Richard. He was confused and ornary. Memere and Wayne (grandparents) also met them there. He allowed them to take pictures of him again as long as he approved of them. A patient makes a noise like a goat so he thinks there is a goat in the building. All afternoon, we all went to Faith Ranch to the wonderful fundraiser that was put on. If you missed it, it was great! Mom visited Christie in the evening. She was asleep.
Now we are up to today. We spent the morning with Richard. He had speech therapy at 10 and physical therapy at 11. He did great with speech therapy. He remembered the days of the week, the first president, and his birthday. He also answered all the questions appropriately. They even asked him what does it mean when someone says dont judge a book by its cover. His answer was there might be more to that person than we know. They took out his trach!!!!! Now he cant pull it out. :) He walked (with assistance) to the bathroom. But that is exhausting so then he takes a nap. During physical therapy, they didnt help him push the wheelchair, he moved it by walking his feet. He is really thirsty and wants to drink so he is bribeing the nurses. He is saying, I'll do one more rep if you give me a drink first. He will have surgery tonight for a permanent feeding tube.
We visited Christie tonight. She looked good. Her right eye was completely opened and was looking around the room but not at us. She moved her right arm around several times and constantly moved her fingers. They changed her trach to a smaller more comfortable one. When we left, we put the TV on FOX so she can listen to her shows.
