They are still in the process of weaning down the sedation. The nurse tells us that he has opened his eyes a couple of time, and has moved his head. We have not seen him throughout this process, however.
The weaning of the vent can be traumatic. As he wakes up, he finds out that he has this huge tube in his mouth and that can be very scary and stressful for him. So far, because they are doing it so gradually and slowly, it has been fine. We're hopeful that things continue to go well.
So far, it has just been immediate family hanging out in the waiting room. We eagerly ask for information, but we are doing ok. WE finally brought out the games - a first since this began. Dad has made a few work phone calls as well today, so we're starting to get back to normal.
We will keep you posted!
