Wiggly Waggly! Mr. Jeff wiggled the toes on his left foot several times yesterday and today - on command. Unbelievable.
He has spent a couple of hours over the last 2 days sitting up in a chair. There are no more tubes going into or out of Jeff's mouth, so you can picture his big smile when his lovely wife enters the room.
Jeff's blood pressure is stabilized now. Everything is improving AND quickly now.
This also allowed him to eat food - Hooray! He had a tasty meal of of apple sauce, crackers and water. Something we all take for granted - ice water makes him so happy.
A follow up on the Ally visit - she jumped right up on his bed and laid on his legs for an hour. They both just sat there smiling at each other. The nurses told Amanda, "You made our day." She let the staff know how they made her day by treating them to 2 dozen donuts. :)
He is also enjoying gossiping about the bachelor with the nurses - they love talking trash about the girls on the show.
Keep in mind that this recovery is a long road and no one can predict what is to come, but the progress is awesome and inspiring.
Enjoying our first trip to Lake Martinez, AZ "the river". Good times! Finding our new normal.
That's great news!!!... I hope this trend continues. .;)
