thnx - by some miracle - dad has woken up and is trying to talk and wants to eat, sit up, etc... The Dr's are going to see if they can do something with his trach hole to help him be able to talk. His leg muscles are pretty atrophied so he is too weak to try and sit up.. his neck wound is cledding a bit so one day at a time
