He's still sedated and intubated in lieu of tomorrow's MRI/picc line insertion.
There were several moments today where he was relatively alert, looking around, making eye contact. But in general he's still pretty dopey.
His right leg is moving a lot more than yesterday, but is still not as strong as his left leg.
There were times when, being particularly irritated (doing the really uncomfortable silent-screaming-thing that intubated babies do), while wildly flailing and kicking his other limbs, his right arm would move as well. He still won't grab anything that's put into his right hand, and only seems to be able to make uncoordinated jerking motions with the arm. Hopefully it will just take more time.

Oh Christa & Nick - that is great that Ford has movements! Fabulous! All positive.
ReplyDeleteWith given that - when Ford is alert he shall try harder and be able to move his right arm and leg, it sounds like.
He sure is coming into the world challenging himself and u-2!!!!!
