Myron Update

I was finally able to visit with Myron today, and gratefully the only other person in the room was Maryann, so I was able to have a nice visit with her also.

He squeezed my hand several times and will mouth words, and occasionally will speak simple words like "I love you". He was triggering the ventilator to assist him in breathing and the staff will probably do that for a couple of days and inch up the time each day. His eye contact was good, but you can quickly see the tiredness in his eyes. He gets a lot of company. We were still gloved and gowned. I really worry about people not washing their hands.

He is to have an evaluation from the rehab center tomorrow. This center is renowned for their work with people with brain injuries.

I hope the folks in the USA had a good Labor Day as it is back to work tomorrow.
