Not much to report from Mr. Thomas. He's been cruising along on his morphine and versed. Other than those first two days, it has been pretty quiet. We are one week into his two weeks of intubation. He is still somewhat coherent though. He ever-so-slightly reacts to touch and our voices, but today he was awake for about 20 minutes and eyes open and blinking and looking at me. It was soothing to see his big blues again, I miss his little smile and his big eyes looking back at me. It seems odd to miss him when he is right here with me, but until he SEES you, you don't feel like he is here. So it was an incredible feeling to have him see me today.
He gets his mouth cleaned every 4 hours and he enjoyed it today, he sucked on the toothbrush like it was his pacifier.
He was also drooling quite a bit today, which probably means that his top tooth is coming through. It was so close to the surface last week before surgery. I can't get a good enough look at his top gums because the breathing tube is in the way. Just another reason to be excited for the tube to come out and to see his first pearly whites!!
