The Calm before the Storm

This picture says it all about Dad. Beantown Boys hat on backwards, Yankees Suck across his chest and arms sunburned to a crisp!
Saturday(2/8) was a good day of positive progress. Brain trauma steps are measured with baby feet, so the progress is slow but Dad is improving. I met with a Neuro-doctor Saturday morning. He again reiterated the seriousness of Dad's condition and informed me that at this point the doctors are in the same boat as us. Progress is measured by what we see. CT's do not reveal anything at this point. We are looking at what he is able to do physically as he emerges from his medically induced coma. And Saturday we were able to see a lot! (again, think baby steps!)
  • Dad made a grimace on his face as we wiped his mouth and nose. It was a 'leave me alone' look that we all said 'no way' to! =)
  • Dad wiggled his toes on BOTH his feet! The nurses would check his feet reflexes and more importantly, Missy would tickle his feet. He reacted to both and I could have sworn I heard him say 'Whitey...' as Miss tickled him.
  • Dad raised his left arm. His body is aware that he has a tube going down his throat and he wants it out. He is reaching for it and the nurses actually had to restrain his arm.
  • The doctors took the 'brain stuff' (as I call it....the medical term is electrodes I think) off his head because he did not show any seizure activity for 36 hours.
All of these things, plus him not running a fever are excellent signs for him and for us. Which brings me to the title of this post. For all of us, Bim's family and friends, we have had time to come to grips with everything that has happened to him. Dad, on the other hand, has little to no idea. It is really freighting for me to watch the nurses tear off day after day on the calendar in his room. I can only imagine his reaction when we sees the time that has passed and his condition...not to mention his big brother there! In all seriousness, it will be traumatic and Dad(along with the family) needs our prayers. Continue to lift my dad to the Lord.
Thank you for all your support and again, feel free to leave comments for Dad, Bim, Jim, Uncle Jimmy, Jim Canney or whoever he is to you! =)

Dear Canney Family: I went to school with Jim from Kindergarten through Graduation Day 1972. Your dad is a special person and he is going to pull through this. I have been praying for Jim and your entire family for several days now. After reading your blog today, I feel that Jim has made much progress.
Riverside Hospital is an amazing place and he couldn't be in a better place right now. My husband's cousin had a stroke in 2005. After Riverside did all they could for her then it was onto Dodd Hall (OSU) for rehab. Those people at Dodd Hall performed some more miracles and they helped her get her life back.
I saw Jim on May 18 at Madison House in London on the day my dad died. Jim gave me a hug that helped me get through that very difficult day.
I will continue to keep all of you in my prayers.
