(From Fran's Post on the Watercooler)
I just got off the phone with our Suz.
She and ex are staying at a hotel near the hospital.
Rob started to rally enough that they extubated him. Suz squeezed his hand and said "hi Rob". He opened his one good eye, squeezed her hand and said "hi mama". Needless to say Suz melted with relief. Best squeeze she ever had.
He is still not himself but he is moving around, trying to eat, not peeing in a tube and will be out of ICU tonight.
He doesn't remember anything. Cussing like a sailor. Suz is hoping that maybe there was some sense knocked into him. LOL. (just joking)
Suz wanted me to tell everyone how important it is to her to have all of you behind her. Words can not describe her gratitude and appreciation. I'm sure she will tell you herself when she is on line. I relayed the messages I have gotten because I know how powerful all of your words are in a time like this.
It's too soon to know what the end result will be but at this point he seems medically stable. I'll let you know more as it is shared with me.
