Dad has been awake the past two days and trying to talk. He is not able to swallow his secretions yet so it is hard to understand what he is saying. The doctor's are going to give him a few more days to see if his brain can connect and allow him to start swallowing. If he is unable to he will get the feeding tube and go to rehab. They are saying he will probably need to learn to talk again cause sometimes he says things that don't make sense but it will be easier to assess after he can speak more clearly.
