Actions Speak Louder than Words

We have received a lot of encouraging words from my post this afternoon about one simple text message. Well, I was able to finally talk to Chris about what is happening with Dad.

Dad's ICP fiberoptic port had to be replaced this afternoon. This device measures the inner-cranial pressure, which evidences the blood and edema in the brain. After replacing the port, Mom and Deb (my bro's lovely bride) were able to go back to see Dad.

The Trauma Team told my Mom that she should NOT speak to Dad because they did not want to get him excited or overstimulated. The lastest text message gives new meaning to the phrase, "Actions speak louder than words":

...he won't let Mom let go of his hand...
