Abe is constantly improving. 3 days ago when they started giving Abe supplements, he was only absorbing 30 ml of supplements per hour. Yesterday he was able to absorb 40 ml per hour and today he was at 50 ml. He needs to be at 60 to 70, in order to be receiving enough nutrients, so they can stop giving him the expensive nutrients directly into his veins. Doctor expect this to be tomorrow or Saturday.
Abe is doing more movements. All his movements are in slow motion. Today he lifted his hand up high to grasp Otto's hand upon his request. While Hertha was holding his hand, I was praying and making declarations, he reached over with his hand to grasp my arm.
Abe seems to try to communicate with his body. His lips move slightly, but there is no sound whatsoever. He started to point with his index finger, and do various motion with his fingers and hand. He only does this with left hand. At one time he pointed his finger into his ear, as if to scratch or possibly show us something. He also lifted his arm, opened his hand as if to reach over and touch Hertha's cheek. When we talked to him about going home he got more active and lifted his head and shoulder and moved his legs.
Please continue to pray for a full recovery of his brain injury, and that he will quickly become aware of things so that tubes can be removed. Doctors are mentioning that he may move out of ICU soon.
