10 am visit: We were hoping to see that Rob had the respirator out, but he didn't. This morning they said they turned off the respirator to see how he would do. At first he was fine, but then he started to breath heavily and freak out. So they did not take it out. He is now using less of the respirator and they are slowly letting him breath on his own. Today was the first day I saw Rob physically point to the tube and point like he wanted it out. One of the nurses said that normally the mind is very awake and ready to have it out, but the lungs aren't.
Other than that.. he was very awake and was able to point and have us do things for him. His neck was really bothering him today, so Melissa massaged it. We told him everyone says hello and how everyone is leaving comments and we can't wait for him to read them all. When we were leaving they said they were going to give him nutrients. So yeah!
