What a great day Tuesday was! Dad was awake (from mine & Trish's best calculations) for 6 or 7 hours total today. Not all at once of course, but still a LOT of time awake.
On his best days prior, it might have taken 3 or 4 days to add up to that!
He woke up to spend time with son Tony (whom he greeted with a "hi, Tony") when he came by to visit. And even got to go outside again for a bit with Trish & Tony. Spent most of the time outside sleeping, but did wake on the way back to the room, and stayed awake for quite a stretch thereafter.
Elijah & I joined in the fun around 5 and he recognized both of us as we came in as well.
And he ate, too! Turkey & peas, plus a carton of milk to go along with it. He got tired and napped for a bit, then woke when TL showed up a little later, and chatted with the 3 of us for a long stretch.
Jimmy (oldest son) celebrated his birthday the 7th and missed out on Dad's singing since Dad slept most of that day. Only missed out on it for a day though... we called Jim & Dad sang Happy Birthday for him.
Followed by a "hey, he knew who I was". Of course he knew who you were Dad... who could forget that singing!
Great day! Pray Hard...
Johnny:)
