July 6th pm

Henry did not have work on his pelvis today we are not sure why. He did however have his cleaning and was very uncomfortable afterwards so the nurses gave him more sedative so he would rest.

The Dr also reminded us that Henry although recouping nicely is heavily medicated. When he is communicating he will go from subject to subject, we do not want to discourage or frustrate him so follow his lead.

Henry gets more alert everyday with alot of questions. He has a sheet with the alphabet so he can spell out words to his visitors. He seems to feel most of his pain from his pelvis, so every time he is moved he is in great pain. He has smiled, which was great for Bonnie and Barb to see.

It has been very encouraging for the family to see him not so helpless. God Bless him he is so strong.

Henry went in for surgery around 10am. He is having his leg and elbow cleaning and some work on the pelvis. We are not sure what they are doing to the pelvis hopefully we have more details after the surgery....more to come. I would just like to say how happy I am that Henry is doing better and to be a part of such a wonderful Family. And what great lifelong friends the family has for encouragement support and love. I Love you all very much!

Henry was very responsive today. His memory wasn't reseting every couple of hours and he was more like himself. I know Barb was happy to get a real hug from him. He attempted to write down some things but apparently he is not very good at writing with his left hand. He did however breathe without the respirator all day so hopefully in a couple more days he'll be able to talk.
He is scheduled for another cleaning surgery today. I hope he starts recovering from these procedures quicker, I know it takes a lot out of him.

Henry was very awake all day today. While he will continue to be confused about what is happening to him, he is beginning to recognize more people. He went all day breathing without the respirator and while the doctors expect that he will need to go back on it sometime tonight it is a good sign that he is fighting to get better.
