132. He's breathing on his own now.

Sometimes he thinks he's in a 7-Eleven.
Other times he knows he's in the hospital.
At those times he tries to pull out all the IVs so he can leave.
He asked for a phone book to look up malpractice attorneys because they won't let him leave.
He thinks it's January 2012 and that he's missing law school.
But now he's in the 7-Eleven again.

Everything he says is in a whisper because of having been intubated. He can't quite feed himself. Keeps missing his mouth. But he's trying. He knows who we are. But he thinks he knows his nurse from before.

He has pneumonia and C. dif. so he's got all kinds of IV antibiotics going. All in all, things are looking up. He's still in ICU and will be for a while. But the doctors say he'll pull through. That's what we needed to hear. After this it'll be just getting him back to functioning at his full capacity.

Your prayers and good vibes worked. You got him and us through the worst of it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
