As I said earlier today, the ventilator came out. Roger is doing well. He has an oxygen boost via a small oxygen tube with a small tube pointing into each nostril. The oxygen is "humidified" so that the moisture helps lubricate Roger's system and vocal cords. He can speak but only in a whisper right now. he
The biggest thing is that he's exhausted. He seems to be awake for maybe 5 minutes and then fades off. Additionally, when he is awake he is confused and spacey. Hopefully tomorrow he will a little more in his right mind. Not that I want some hours long conversation...I just wanted to see a little more of my silly husband's personality. I can't wait to have him back.
We have a nurse tonight that we've had once before. Unfortunately, I don't remember anything about him....good or bad. Roger asked me to stay the night....so I'm snugged back into my corner of the room. I'd rather not have him wake in the middle of the night confused and not having me around.
We're moving in the right direction. Just slowly. Nothing more for today. G'nite. Angie

Wow, Angie, Roger is so lucky to have you at his side. I can't help but think that he is working very, very hard to get back to you whole and well. You are both so very brave.
