Mike is making strides in rehab. His OT, who has been particularly gracious and kind with him, tells us she is excited with his progress. The goals she set out for him have proven too easy and she's going to have to make some tougher ones.
Mike is working on centering his core when sitting up and was up in a walker for a few (assisted) steps today. He is also keeping his eyes open for longer stretches of time. This indicates his eye muscles are getting stronger and that the double vision is abating.
Dr. Hoeflich has agreed to try taking his off a feeding tube to see if we can get enough calories in him by mouth.
Tonight, Mike and I shared a funny moment and I heard a hearty laugh come out of him for the first time in almost a month (with all due respect to Dr. Baxter who claims to have heard a hearty laugh while Mike was on a vent -- but that could have been anything...).
We are hoping for a great night of sleep so he can continue his progress.
