a few smiles but a little shell shock




We were able to hold Jerry today but it was bitter sweet. Very hard to get comfortable with all the tubes and wires. The transition is probably a little painful. He seems very frightened and it is hard on us that he has no idea what has happened to his world and we can't explain it to him. He smiled two times and we are thankful for that. The next steps are getting him to drink something and going off IV meds (a slow process). His mouth looks like it has a few sores in it and he is very guarded. He won't let anything close to his mouth and won't move his lips. We hope each day gets better.
