Eric's surgery was delayed until 2:00. He just got out and everything went well. They still have him on the ventilator but around 5:00 pm, they're going to see how he does without it. He's experiencing some delirium and that's probably why he tried to pull the tube out yesterday. Most of the time this is a result of days in the ICU with little sleep and being confined to the bed. He tried to pull it out again today when I was in the room and when I jumped up and "scolded" him he scowled and shooed me away. He later flipped me the bird (can you believe that???). Hopefully we're not seeing a permanent personality change. Ha-ha! Chalk it up to being delirious. Carol and I are in the waiting room waiting for him to wake up a little before we go back to see him. Hopefully this will be much for comfortable for him. The doctors are going to wean him off all sedation drugs but it could take a while to completely flush through his system. He's showing signs of pituitary damage (a result of the area of the brain the blood clot was) but again, they hope this is short-term. Tom, our resident blog-man, is on a business trip in Vegas but says he will still post for us. What a good guy!!! Thanks for everyone's support.

Rhonda,
I am just shocked at Eric's sign language! :)Tell him if he wants to start signing we can all help you with suggestions. Sounds like my friend is coming around. It may be good that he can't talk! Take care and know we all love you and continue to pray.
Love ya!
Kirsten
