Sometimes it's difficult to celebrate the small things. In the hospital there are challenges all around you, all the time. Patients with challenges. Challenges can range from asking for a Coke, to going to the washroom. Dad has his own set of challenges. Being alert. Responding. Eating. But little things happen and we need to acknowledge these small events and celebrate them.
After many weeks Dad seems to be more alert tonight. His eyes were open. He was trying to turn over. He could answer questions. He formed a few words. I use the word "formed" because he wasn't speaking with voice, but I could see him form the words "yes", "no" and "hi".
Dad was having a good day.
