New nurse assessment

Shifts changed so we have a new nurse. He was here yesterday morning as well but I didn't meet him until now. Dad was actually able to say some words. And he seems to be in good spirits. He is laughing at my mom for some of the questions she is asking. When the nurse asked him what his name is he spelled dug and started laughing. He was able to wiggle his toes and could lift two fingers on his right hand and touch his fingers to his nose. Of course all of this is difficult and frustrating but it's a good sign. He will have a therapist come in later and they will discuss walking.

So here is the awesome news. Dr. Garcia came in and said the stroke hit a part of the brain that will heal. If it would of hit just slightly to the side it would have completely paralyzed him. Since it hit where it did he will get movement back. We don't know to what strength but he will have mobility and the speech we can work on. Great news! I am so happy!
