Today I spent the whole day with Chris. Mostly watching him sleep. He had some friends stop by which really lightened the moods of my family and Chris. When he was awake he was progressively getting worse with his speech. He would sometimes say the opposite from what he meant, or lose the word he was looking for all together. But I can tell you it was GREAT to see him walk and talk! He still has his great outlook and told us "I'm beating this thing. I'm gonna win" and he still has his sense of humor! The Doctors said they are leading to believe the speech impairment is due to swelling from the surgery and he should be back to his old self with in 3 - 7 days so we are anxiously awaiting for that time.
He looks really good. His face began to swell more as the day went on, but he's doing really well. He is expected to leave the hosptial on Saturday to live with my parents. Home really is the best place to recover!
