Somehow Kent's trach came out last night and they have decided to leave it out. YEA!!! This means that he is talking even more. The only downfall is not he can vocalize how much he hates being in the hospital. Now they just have to get his feeding tube out, (hopefully tonight or tomorrow) and his IV patch.
They are having a meeting with all of the doctors today to help determine when he will be able to come home. They will set goals for him to accomplish so he can be released. One of the therapists said a few days but we will have to see what happens.
His therapy is going well. He's obviously really motivated to get out of there. Today he walked around the hospital as well as up and down the stairs. They had him walk on the balance beam and through the ladders to test his balance. He also did some exercises testing his ability to get up from the floor.
The audiologist is going to come in today to check on his eardrum. If everything checks out he should be able to go home but he'll have to have someone at home with him most of the time. His recovery has been so amazing! I think we all want him home as much as he wants to be home.
