Awake

Finally, yesterday morning Abel woke up. He had been sleeping this week because of the medicine they were giving him. They needed to give his body a chance to heal from the bleeding in his esophagus. He had a ventilator down his throat but that is out now. He is doing better since and he has been off all blood pressure medicine. Yesterday when he woke up he was very groggy and did not make much sense when he tried to sign. The nurse this morning said he was more alert. They were also calling for an interpreter to come this morning at 9.
