Hospitals suck and I've seen those rooms alot in the last 6 years. Mostly in the last 8 months.
Hope he's home soon and doesbt have to endure that crap much longer.

Ok, well he must be feeling a little better because he got mad at me this morning! 
Apparently he doesn't like doing his PT. It's okay. He did them. 
Had a decent night, they said. At this point, I'll take anything that isn't "well we are doing the best we can for him". Most terrifying words I have ever heard in my life because I KNOW what it means.

Ok ... Frustration can actually be a good thing. Doc came by, Scott did all his party tricks and they have weaned him off all his sedation now. Gonna try to un-ventilate him again this afternoon!! 
(Yes, I picked on him. Yes, in front of the doctor. Did I embarrass him?? Probably. I don't care -- I care about getting him home and the longer he is on that vent the worse his outcome will likely be. I LOVE having doctors who do not have poker faces. Doc was SO HAPPY when he said we could try to get off the ventilator again! )
Ok ... I think they are gonna try again. RT was REALLY happy with how his testing went!!

I am not sure but 3 I think. At the time I was more worried about getting the heck out of there. Wifey also does not remember.
Praying for this man.
