Well, it has been some kinda day today with Connor.
After sleeping well overnight (as well as you can in a hospital), Connor consumed his first breakfast in 5 weeks - chopped French toast, puréed eggs, yogurt and keifer.
He then went off to rehab where Dana, his therapist got him out of the wheelchair for his first steps. They proceeded over the next 30min to walk up and down the walkway with rails for an impressive three trips. By the end of the third trip, Connor was exhausted and sweating from working himself to the bone. His therapist was blown away by the progress over this week, she has been with him all week and has seen him go from barely balancing on the side of the bed to now walking.
Next up was his first lunch in 5wks which he proceeded to fall asleep while eating. He complained to me that the chewing was exhausting after his therapy session. Thereafter, I lowered his bed and he began to snore.
Next, they woke him up from his lunch time nap to remove his trach pipe. This was a procedure that took all of 60 seconds and they had his throat patched and complete. Amazingly that this hole that is 3/4" across will close itself up in the next few days - still struggling to get my mind around this concept - looking forward to having this healed and his breathing normal again.
This evening he dined on salmon and squash and finished the meal off with vanilla pudding. All Connor could say was how good the food was - glad to hear that he is enjoying food again.
Well we are headed to sleep now - goodnight all.
