Aloha everyone on January 29th in the evening
Just to clear up some misunderstandings, birthday is today Jan 29th and I was under the covers yesterday, Jan. 28th. Thank you all for your kind wishes. We spent a nice quiet day together and he did try to get some words out. I am afraid the picture I painted of Gord actually speaking was false. He is communicating in the best way he can but may not know what he is saying. I did not witness any actual words today. He still is not responding to commands and that is what we are looking for. Until he does that, they cannot assess whether he can protect his airway or not. We are not out of the woods yet. Please don't get false hope, get excited but stay grounded. It is really tough but we just have to be prepared for all eventualities. I am obviously getting very philosophical as the days wear on but I am trying to maintain a sense of the reality of the whole situation.
I went to the bottom yesterday and amazingly when I thought "what's it all about" I started feeling better and better and I am back to my old self today with my positive outlook and fighting spirit. There is a future adventure for us both I believe and that will be meeting new people, learning new things, and knowing Gord, helping everyone in rehab!
Until tomorrow.....love to all

ReplyDeletewe know with your strong positive attitude,you and Gord will pull through this.I am sure the lows and highs will come and go.Just remember when you are in your low time,you can think of all the friends you and Gord have and know that we are pulling for the two of you.Every Day!!! It is the first thing that comes to my thoughts every morning,and several times during the day.I have so many great memories with the two of you over the years,both here and Maui.(except that Sardine sandwich).
I will see you soon.stay strong.
