Day 25 hour 22

Tony has been off the ventilator for a whole day. They have moved the ventilator out of his room and he has been cleared to go to a step down room. The rooms are pretty full right now so he hasn't been moved yet. They put the valve back onto his tracheotomy this morning that should allow him to talk but he hasn't yet. The speech therapist said one of the bleeds in his brain was located in the speech area so he may have to learn to speak again. It's a bit early to tell as he has only had it on a few hours. His physical therapist took him outside in a wheelchair today. I think he enjoyed it.
