Thumbs up!

10:00am
Early this morning, we called Taylor's Nurse that was with him overnight. She said she taught him how to use the "call Nurse" button and exercised his right arm some. Taylor's right arm is not nearly as strong as his right, so they've been exercising him some.

The Nurse said after she finished, she told him how well he had done. She said he smiled and gave her the thumbs up.

Now that he's managed pull out his IV and feeding tube, there is not a lot more damage he can do, so the restraints have been removed and he can now move his arms.

Apparently, he got quite a workout last night - he's been sleeping most of the day.

One of the Doctors visited this afternoon and said the pneumomia has cleared up a LOT. She said there is very little "hazing" on his x-ray. That and infection are two things that really concern the Doctors, so we've dodged that bullet, it appears. Infection does not, at this time, look like a big threat.
