Five Weeks

I went in to see Mark this morning, and it was a great visit! His level of communication is getting worlds better. He is still unable to produce sound because of his trach, though that doesn't stop him from trying. We were actually able to understand most of what he was telling us this visit.
The physical therapist has been getting him up into a chair, and having him stand up. Mark has even taken a couple of small steps for them!
He has been off of his blood pressure meds for 2 days now, and all is going well in relation to his vitals. His surgery is still on for this Wednesday.
Mark's progress is amazing! While visiting him this morning, I made reference to a phrase that Mark and I started at a UT football game one time..."It's time to turn it around." When I said that today he responded by very clearly mouthing the words "We are" and smiled. GO MARK!!!
