Ted is becoming "active". He was up all night - attempting to talk and attempting to write. He wrote TED with his left hand - really not too bad, but it took him hours. All of the staff is pleased with his progress. He should be transferred out of the intensive care unit today to a trauma unit. He is becoming stronger and stronger - fights with the nurses when they want to do something to him. His left eye is starting to open. He actually laughed a couple of times last night with the nurses. He still can't talk. The kids told me that he "conducted" Deck The Halls when it was playing over the Christmas music station.
When I visited this morning, he was sound asleep. He will probably sleep most of the day considering he was up all night.
