I just left Jim and he's doing just fine. He's alert and watching TV. All of his vital signs are normal. The abscess he had several weeks ago has quit draining and there is just a very small hole there now. They took the wound vac off of the chest wound because the wound is so small they can no longer get a good seal on the wound. They are changing the dressings twice a day. His bed sore seems to be slowly healing. As for the infections inside his body we are not sure what is going on there because it is hard to tell. Tomorrow they are going to try him off of the vent and let him try to talk. It has been awhile so speech therapy may have to work with him on this. Tonight we interacted and he puckered up his lips for a kiss. You have to love that.
I've been really busy and have not been home much. Plus I spend a lot of time at the hospital especially now while he is alert.
