The doctors are slowly taking him off the medicine that has kept him in a coma since Thursday. He can speak and move.
Brandon's initial reactions were to try to take the breathing tube out and to mumble a couple of highly appropriate expletives - the best ones to say when you wake up in a hospital room with tubes and IVs running in and out of you - and he said "help me, somebody help me."
More to come later.

I am encouraged by his ability to speak and react to things. Considering the last thing he probably remembers is driving home, and now he wakes up and has 9 bottles of goo going in and out of him, a breathing tube jammed down his throat, I'm pretty sure I'd be yelling too. Not knowing where he is and why he's there...it must be incredibly upsetting. Hopefully having a familiar face there helped a great deal. Please keep us up to date. We're planning on hanging out again tonight at the hospital.
ReplyDeleteHang in there Mariko, and we love you Brandon, please get well soon.

What good news! That's got to be reassuring, knowing it's the same old Brandon. :)
