NEWS FLASH!!!!! NEWS FLASH!!!! On Sun. morning, 1/7, Kenn said
2 words to Karen, the CNA. She had finished brushing his
teeth and wanted to wipe out his mouth with a sponge.
He clamped his mouth shut and didn't want to let her
finish. He surprised her by saying, "Enough now."
She told me it was in a tone like she was talking to me
and it was so clear that there was no mistaking it.
I was so glad he talked. I didn't care if it wasn't me
he talked to. On Sun. afternoon when I visited him,
he was more alert than he has been for awhile,
even the nurse mentioned it. I was talking to him
about the sweater I was wearing which was one I had
gotten for him about 3 years ago. He turned to look at
me and then at the sweater, which surprised me. I was
also talking to him and bugging him, when he looked right
at me, moved his mouth and tongue and made a noise in
his throat as if trying to talk. Last week his
feeding tube fell out which happens so they replaced it
with a new tube. Another struggle to deal with, the
place Kenn's at doesn't want to use the bed rails when
he's in bed because it's a form of restraint. I've
told them I want them used to protect him in case
he does start to move when no one is around. If he
were to fall out of bed he would hit the nightstand or the
floor which could cause him more problems. All the
hassles I've been having come against me tells me that
I'm doing something right. The enemy sure doesn't like
the way I'm able to stand strong and fight. Thanks for
all the continued prayers. Carol
