Hey everybody this is Kayla again!
Grammy and I went to see poppop today and all he did was sleep, he has lost over 30lbs and has atrophy (loss of) of most of his muscles. The doctor said he has a few days to start waking up until they will put in a feeding tube. Like mom said a feeding tube (or him waking up) means that he can get to rehab faster and start the real road to recovery. On a good note poppop was still able to give my hand a reassuring squeeze when I would start talking to him. When we loosened the restraints on his hand he still heads straight for the neck brace, which he absolutely hates. A MRI of his neck within the next couple of days will hopefully tell if poppops neck is okay, if it is then he can get that darn neck brace off.

We also got a visit from the doctor, he is disappointed that poppop is not further along than he is but these brain injuries are unpredictable.

Grammy would like to thank everyone for their prayers, concerns, and cards for poppop!
