Kingston’s now off his breathing tube and they’ve let the sedatives wear out. He’s doing well so far — he recognizes us, he calls out “Caaars” to his favorite movie, and is generally doing ok. I’m relieved and happy of how he’s doing so far, but many more concerns are still there….perhaps it may be years before I get rid of these feelings? His right arm is still the only limb where we haven’t seen as much movement as we’d like….we’ve seen it react and move here and there, but the rarity of it is such that it’s almost like catching sight of the Loch Ness monster “There look it moved, did you see that?” “No…..”
I’m reminding myself it’s still early. I’m not expecting him to bound out of bed and resume daily life just yet for sure. I cling to hope. Meanwhile it’s still good seeing my boy looking around and enjoying some of his favorite things. The gratitude I feel towards his doctors and nurses, friends and family who have offered their help and support…..is immeasurable.
