Update on husband

The saga continues......

My husband is doing much better from a physical standpoint. He is beginning to regain some strength and has most of the tubes and so forth removed. He moved to a lesser degree of care in a Progressive Care Unit. However, he is experiencing some short term memory loss and is disoriented as a result of the time he was not breathing and his heart was stopped. The heart doctors have requested that a neurologist evaluate this area in the next couple of days. They have also requested that a family member stay with him all the time in the interest of safety and in hopes that being around family will help reinforce some memories. They say this may return to normal in a few weeks or so. They add that only time will tell whether there is any permanent damage or not.

God brought him back to life for a purpose, so we pray that He will restore his mental awareness soon.
