Day 30 hour 1

Tony is talking a little more today. he is confused about things. We were told he would be. We need to work with him to get his short term memory again. He was able to use my iPad to type in the word "Titan". We were going to watch a DVD on the moon landing and he decided he wanted to look up Titan. He didn't get much farther than typing it in. He also was able to read the white board in his room with the date on it. Since it is the week end he won't be getting any physical therapy until tomorrow. He should also be seeing the speech therapist tomorrow and we are hoping she will clear him to eat. We are still hoping he won't have to have a tube inserted in his stomach for feeding. We are also hoping he will get what's called a "button" on his tracheotomy soon. It would replace the purple cap and if he can keep it on for a couple days straight I believe they can remove the tube for the tracheotomy and stitch it up.
