So as day 9 winds to a close Toren is resting comfortably - considering. He is very very exhausted, it is a struggle for him to speak, clearly his mouth and throat are sore. He has only one IV attached to his PIC line... Toren has had PT and OT today, tasted a spoonful of Jello (the feeding tube has been removed). He also said ouch in response to the question "are you in pain?". When I held the phone to his ear so he could listen to Rabbis J & L voices - his face brightened. I think he is tired of listening to my voice - How can that be??!! - No need to respond to that question.
I will not blog or be on the phone during the first day of the Chag... I send you my love, and my deepest gratitude for keeping us in your hearts and prayers. We might have a long journey still yet ahead - but this day has been full of progress. With help Toren will go from strength to strength.
My mother and I are siting here quietly simply enjoying looking at our boy!
L'Shana Tova.

ReplyDeleteHave a great holiday!
ReplyDeleteAnd when you do see this please tell him that I am doing better myself, he was worried about me before he left (and of course I told him not to be I'll be fine). I'm still having panic attacks but I am learning new ways to deal with them and I started seeing a Therapist that is helping me out a lot too.
He's in my thoughts every day. Couldn't ask for a stronger friend.
Hopefully you are getting some good rest yourself dearie. And tell his Gma I say hello as well if she remembers meeting me.
All my <3
