dhbearguyWOW, what a great Jeff visit today. I walked into his room, and he looked right at me and raised his left hand to me. I went right over to him and grabbed his hand and smiled big and said "Hi Ber!" He held on my hand a bit. I grabbed a chair and got up beside him and talked to him. Said a bunch of hello's from a bunch of you all!
I was looking at him silent at one point while he was dozing out, and he came back to me and I saw his left cheek move upwords. I said "Did you smile at me??" He shook his head yes!! Phil arrived and he sat in the chair by the window while I had my time with Jeff. Jeff kept grabbing at a pillow beside him and I was trying to figure out what he wanted. I said, "You want me to move this"? He shook yes, I said, where do you want me to put it. He raised his left arm to behind his head. Phil and I adjusted him the best we could to get him comfortable. He wanted his head elevated. We also determined that his head hurt, so Phil called the nurse in to see if he could have some meds for pain. It was time. Right after they gave him his pain meds, I kissed him farewell and told him I would be back to see him soon. He waved bye to me and right now he is probably in morhpine la la land.
I got to meet his social worker who is very nice. Just talked about legal stuff with Phil. Watch for Phil's update for today. While she was saying some things, she kinda of said something about Jeff that was a questions and Jeff made a hand gesture that was like "Eh, I don't know" To me that says that Jeff is really thinking, and understanding, and that has been a big fear of mine.
I feel much better after this visit. It was great to see him so active and response.
