8mm
I got another update from my FRiend and the good news continues.
He has been moved from ICU to the stroke unit for more aggressive therapy (unfortunately, all of therapists are off for the weekend).
He has been listening to music, watching videos and talking to friends.
Thanks to all for the continued prayers and God Bless
Prayers up!
Good news. Continued prayers.
Good update.

This is a bummer of a thing. When I moved to the Nursing Home for recovery from my total hip replacement, it was on a weekend.
Drove me nuts knowing that I needed the physical therapy and yet could not access it.
(On my four days in the hospital they had me up and walking, sitting, walking, exercising the first day! So I knew it was possible.)
Bah! for the weekends!
Wonderful! Prayer changes things for sure.
Excellent news! Continued thoughts and prayers for the family.
PTL ~ prayers continue
He's still in the stroke unit, but he is getting some therapy for speech, swallowing and range of motion. He needs more intensive therapy, but he’s not ready to be released to a rehab facility yet. They are going to do another swallow test today which hopefully will show improvement because he has been having trouble with the feeding tube and IV.
There is a lot of blockage in his carotid arteries, they don't want to do anything now, but hope to open one of them up with surgery or a stent in about a month.
He seems to be trying to say some words, but it will take time.
Our FRiend has been bringing their Shih Tzu to the hospital to cheer him up and that seems to be helping.
Thanks to all for the continued prayers and God Bless
