Sitting in a "chair"

I don't really know what it is called, some hospital version or a chair where it can go flat and into a chair position. That's what Liam has been sitting in the last couple hours. They lay it flat, put on of those plastic body boards between it and the bed and lift/slide him over on to it. Then they put it in an upright postion and lower his legs so they are at 90 degrees. They put him back to bed a while ago. Marcus came to visit today and went in and said "hey buddy, i hear you give high fives now" and up came Liams hand! He even did thumbs up with his left hand today, once at 4pm. Not the other times, but at least once is better then not at all. He's still breathing no his own and the only medication he is on is haloperidol - a anti-psychotic - to help keep him calm. Basically, he's still getting better:)

    Erika,

    Thank you so much for blog. This helps a lot. Look after yourself too. We're off for radiation. I'll call later.

    Much love,

    Frank

    Erika,

    Would you please tell Liam repeatedly that I'll come to visit as soon as he wakes up. Years ago my dad was on his death bed in Aussie and I told him I'd come as soon as he got out of hospital. He was out almost immediately and lived another couple of years. I like to think the bribe helped.
    Love, Frank
