These last couple of days have been very bittersweet. When I asked dad if he remembered Christmas, he said yes. When I asked him if he knew who I was, he didn't say or do anything, but Jordan called in to my mom on her cell phone and he actually carried on a conversation with him; some you could understand, some you could not. President Monson's wife is on his floor, for some reason (we gave them their privacy), but when I asked Dad if he remembered who President Monson was, he said No. Also, Rob called in and he carried on a conversation to him as well.
He asked me where my "brother" was. I said, "you mean Brett, my husband?" He said, "yes". So he recongnized that someone was supposed to be with me who was not there. He also told Tahna he had to go to the "union"; meaning "bathroom". So his words are hit and miss, as well as who he recognizes and who he doesn't.
Still, when all the grandkids came in, he smiled and gave each a hug. He did more baby talk to Kamryn and when I asked if he'd had a chance to watch the video I made for him of the family, he smiled real big and said Yes.
He's doing very will in all his therapies. We'll find out next week if he'll be able to stay at IMC. He keeps pulling his feeding tube out and he hates it when he's buckled in his wheel chair. He tried to undo his buckle and I told him I'd unbuckle him as long as he didn't try to escape. He said, "oh no, I won't" and he never did try :)
