8:00am - Tim's bed is in a more upright position to help with his lungs. He no longer has restraints on his wrists. He is taking this opportunity to explore his neck brace, tracheotomy, and stitches (from the surgery) with his left hand. Tim has been breathing on his own since the middle of the night. They will monitor his breathing and put him back on the respirator if necessary.

2:00pm - Tim just had a bath, and was not overly responsive to anyone. He shakes his left foot like he's irritated. Luckily, by the end of the hour he looked at me and nodded his head when I said goodbye before leaving for home.

evening - Tim was asked by the nurse if Donna was his wife, and he shook his head no. The nurse asked again if this was his wife, and he shook his head no again. Then it looked like a slight smile from the left side of his mouth. It's hard to know if he just didn't understand the question, if his brain was just confused how to answer, or he's joking around. I would love to think that Tim actually had a sense of humor during all of this.
