Update on his condition

More progress. I just left his room when he got to eat soup and jello and ice cream (2 helpings of the last) and he was awake the entire time. He has only been able to stay awake for 5 minutes or so each time, so it was nice to get some extended time with him. He was even able to pick up a cup and take a drink by himself at the end of the meal!!They actually got him out of bed for the first time just a few minutes ago and into a recliner. He fell asleep right away, but at least he was able to be moved.He seems to be able to remember a few things better, the most important is that he is almost always confident in realizing he will make a full recovery. He seems aware of all his injuries and recognizes they will all heal in time even though it will not be a short time. I'm just so glad to get to see his brain working well and being able to see progress in that area every time he wakes up. He is beginning to remember more conversations we have with him, but he forgets enough that he isn't liable for anything he says or that is said to him. Pretty convenient for Nate if you ask me.Not sure when he will get moved out of the ICU and can then have visitors, but I'll keep you posted on that.
