Update on Rocky:
He is doing well. His feeding tube was taken out yesterday and he is slowly starting to eat. He walked a couple laps around his area with the help of nurses and likes taking wheelchair rides to get fresh air and change of scenery. He is still in pain but thats to be expected with all the injuries. His staples on his head and also from spleen surgery were removed. He has to wear his neck brace and arm brace and cast for a couple more months or more and has to wear his helmet to protect his head since there is no skull on one half of his head. Because there was no skull on one side they had a large white sticker on his head in ICU that said No bone. So we affectionately call him no bone now. Its his new nickname. We were told they would perform surgery in 6 months to a year to put the skull back in. He meets with the occupational and speech therapist regularily. Hes making great strides!! We are still asking for no visitors at this time. He still gets overwhelmed and confused easily and his brain is still waking up. Once his brain is fully awake, we cant wait to share with him some of his funny stories hes told us. He looks to my sister Katie as his partner in crime when he wants to escape or do something he's not supposed to do, he tells his new friend he made at the hospital (Gordan) that Im a pain in the butt and blames me for spilling his water he never had and tells his daughter, my sister and I that his favorite sister is Dora. He was dead serious. Well we dont know who Dora is but she is his favorite. He was under the impression that my husband was building ramps and a rocket ship to help him escape the hospital. Our family got a good laugh. On a more serious note, he remembers names and people and remembers alot. Things can just be jumbly for him at times. Its all normal the doctor says. As soon as he can have visitors I will let everyone know but he is doing good all things considered!! 😊
