davids progress

it's time for another update, I'm not so tired tonight so here we go. Thursday David had surgery on his sinuses because he was leaking a lot of cerebral spinal fluid from his nose and had an air leak where air was getting into his brain from his nose... so on Thursday he had surgery, he started in pre-op at 9:30am. then he was taken into the OR at 11:00am. surgery started at 12 or 12:30pm. he was out of surgery at 4:00pm and into recovery then I got to see him at 5:00pm. it was a long day. he was held in the icu from thrusday to tuesday afternoon then he went back to his long term care facility. Friday and Saturday and sunday, because of the surgery his eyes were swollen shut. Monday he opened his eyes back up. he did discover what breasts were again he was getting all grabby with mine, so I had to correct him and tell him it was not proper to be doing that in public. on tuesday he had another surgery to change his PICC line which is a long term IV from his left arm to his right. so he's still pretty groggy from the surgeries. 

as far as motor functions or movements, he is starting to move his right side his hand and arm have spontaneous movement but it's without stimulation which is good. his right leg he is moving I'm not sure if it's purposeful or spontaneous. he's giving thumbs up on command and showing umbers 0-5 on command. 

that's about it.
