Wednesday night

This is Justin's blog, appreciate the 'political correctiveness' but Justin would say "F*** them!! If they don't like what they are reading, they don't have to read it". OF course, as Mom, I appreciate the effort to be cautious or respectful of others.

Believe me, since he has found his voice, it amazes me that the nurses haven't found a reason to put him back on the other traech---he's had me threaten the bar of soap thing about a dozen times already. Agree though, he'll keep you rolling or keep you so furious you don't know what to do with yourself; however, so far it's been more of the whooing the nurses, speaking his mind and keeping everyone laughing. His doctor is a jokester too so that is a definite dangerous situation.

Not much to report tonight. He did OT and said there was nothing new to really report. I've been checked off on IC, after another bed bath in the morning I should be checked off on that and will start learning bowel treatments Friday; hopefully I'll have that checked off by the weekend. Not sure what else comes after that but will ask tomorrow.

ROBYN-when you come in, he wants his guitar and guitar stand, his MP3 (which should be in the box in the garage, ask Brooke if she'll go get it and have it ready for when you pick her up--if it's not there, ask her to call me and we'll figure it out) and I think I'm forgetting one other thing, will ask him in the morning. We have his pool stick so that's already here. We need to go find him some more sweats "without the elastic in the leg"--that's all this WalMart had and then it wasn't a real big selection.

He didn't eat much supper---had 3 chicken tenders but asked for "field peas" and got black-eyed peas instead and he said the cabbage tasted "old" but it seemed fine by me (just no bacon or crushed red peppers--ha ha Peetlebug, they just don't know how to fix it huh). He did, however, feed himself so he's progressing, especially as Kiki put it, don't ask him--tell him what will happen (gotta love nurses).

Love all you guys, appreciate your encouragement, understanding, prayers and comments---helps us feel a bit closer to home and family & friends. Will update again tomorrow!!
