They've gotten him to sit up, and even had him in a chair for a bit. He pulled his feeding tube out last night, and some of the sensors, too - that's gotta hurt! Then again, he says he hurts everywhere. He can count from 1 to 10, but when they asked him to do it backwards, he said it was too much work. He knows where he is and somethng about what happened ("I fell") and when he was born, but still doesn't know what year it is, though he does know the decade. The neurologists have "signed off on him;" I'm not sure what that means, but I suppose they must like what they've seen.
Sometime later today they are going to check and see if he can swallow okay. If he can, then they can start giving him real food. They may or may not move him out of the ICU today.
