Third Sunday in the hospital

This morning Larry wasn't able to remember who Marilyn or his dad were. He thought Marilyn was his doctor. The doctors noticed a change in him as well. His Neurologist seemed pretty concerned and ordered a CT scan. When he returned from that he had a nap. When he woke he was able to say who Melise was and his mothers name. He is doing better but still seems down. We finally got the results back of the CT scan it was unchanged which is good. He is doing really good with eating and keeping food down and might have his feeding tube removed tomorrow. The Pulmonologist put a cap on his trach that blocks the airflow through it. He is now completely breathing on his own. They will keep the cap in place for a few days to a week to make sure he does okay breathing then remove it. After removal it will automatically close itself within 24 hours. Tropical storm Beryl is moving in tonight. We are a little worried about Melise and grandpa flying home in the morning. Mandy will be coming to Florida on Tuesday.
