Rise N Shine

Hey everyone. PJ is getting more and more alert everyday. Some have asked if he can talk on the phone yet, I don't think so. He is getting agitated with a lot of little things, and he would probably get agitated with that also.

They lowered his ativan, and you can tell. Like I said, he is getting really frustrated with all the "things" they have hooked up to him. He wants all the things taken off and he wants to be untied. He is planning his escape route. He is wanting to sign the papers to get out of there. Some of the things he is saying is funny! Today he asked what the other "sheet" was that was on him... when he found out that it was his gown, his eyes got really big and said, "Boys don't wear gowns".

Other than some of the things that he is saying, there really isn't much changing. I am spending a lot more time up there with him, as he is staying awake longer. So, the posts are going to slow down, but I will post when anything changes. (Trach coming out, eating solid foods, etc...).

He told the nurses today that he didn't trust them. (He didn't think they were nurses) and he wanted to see some ID. He told us that he needed to so to the bank, and to get his uniforms ready for work.

He also is asking/talking about the accident. He wanted to know today if anyone had died and asked if they knew why it happened. He also asked how "the kids" (nieces and nephews) were taking all of this. He asked about the family, (grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc) and again how the other guys were doing... He found out that he has been in the hospital for four weeks, and I don't think that he believed that.

Oh yeah, he told me that the kids wanted to talk to him about Christmas. He also said that Kendyl is getting a puppy... Have fun with that Chris!

As you can see, he has a lot to say. There is NEVER a dull moment with him.

That's all for now. I will post again tomorrow when there are changes. Tonight he is going to rest, and Mom and I are going up there first thing in the morning. I will post tomorrow afternoon sometime.

Hugs from San Diego,
Heather, Mom and PJ
