Evening

Even though Mark was awake all day today, he wasn't as lively and responsive as we was yesterday. I think all the excitement of visitors tuckered him out. But I brought in his favorite soap (Pure and Natural) and shampoo (green apple) and gave him a good washing. I think he liked my bath better than the one the nurses give him. Since my kids read this, I won't go into details. And he smelled like Mark again!

He's had no more fevers but the medicine that they give him in his breathing treatments makes him perspire, which they said was normal.

He's been moving his entire legs, arms and head, and even moves his body a little to get comfortable. When his nurse shined the flashlight in his eyes tonight, she said his pupils weren't sluggish at all, which was a first. And he's beginning to look straight ahead, up till now his eyes were looking to the right only.

Derrick and Tina stopped by today and although I wasn't there, Mark agreed that he enjoyed their visit very much. And Mark had other visitors this morning, but I forget the note they left and don't remember their names. But he remembered their visit when I saw the note and asked him about it.

I'm back to work tomorrow and don't know how much I'll get to see Mark. Hopefully we can work something out so I can leave a little early.

I think he may be transferred to rehab soon. Let's keep our fingers crossed. He told me that the hospital was boring. I offered to read to him again today but he declined. I hope my reading's not as bad as my singing!
