Steve still didn't get assessed for rehab today. We figured out that he's not hardly slept in about 3 days, and this is why his responses haven't been ideal the past few days. Tonight is the first night he is going to be taking some sleeping medication, so hopefully that will help solve the problem so that when the rehab doc comes around in the morning, Steve is ready to respond. Today he did get into a chair for about an hour and a half, and he started to pull himself up and out of the chair when dad asked him if he wanted to get back into bed. He's also grabbing onto the bed rail on the right side with his left arm (the good one) and pulling himself over onto his side to lay more comfortably. Until just a day or two ago his nurses had to turn him every few hours to keep him from getting bed sores, but now he is taking care of that on his own. We ask for prayer for him to be able to sleep, because without sleep, his brain can't continue to heal.
