Day 26: October 26, 2011
Daniel didn't walk today, actually he didn't do any physical therapy because he has been feeling nauseous all day. He did get some medication to help him so he won't throw up. Daniel was taken off the insulin drip and his glucose levels are now being monitored with shots, in preparation to move him out of ICU. Good news at 4:30pm Daniel was moved out of ICU! He is now on the rehabilitation floor! It has been a slow process with lots of watching and monitoring. Tomorrow they are plugging Daniel's tracheotomy in order to start speech therapy. Yesterday Daniel's brother asked him if he knew who he was and Daniel mouthed "Matt". Mom then asked him what relationship Matt was to him and Daniel mouthed "brother". Matt then asked him if he was his favorite brother and Daniel shook his head no. Matt's response was "what, I'm your only brother" and Daniel smiled at him. It was a neat experience to hear about and know that Daniel is still teasing his older brother.
