Sleep and wake cycles still disturbed

As you might imagine, being in an ICU as M was for a month can totally disrupt the normal sleep-wake cycle. Add to that the injury itself and concommitant confusion about what night and day are, and the result is that some days M is less energetic during the day and every day he is wide awake at 3 in the morning.

Yesterday (on Tuesday), M spent time standing with support in both occupational and physical therapy. He's doing well in his group, "Memorex," for memory issues. He was pretty tired during speech, though. Please pray for stamina for all of us and for his left hand to respond as his left leg is.

We are having glorious spring weather and I pray we will be able to return to enjoying the outdoors as a family. God bless you and keep you.
