We have been blessed with so many wonderful visiting musicians and friends. Today Vernon responded to the music in a new way…
Watch for it…
Did you see? He moved his foot! This wasn’t the ‘intermittent pneumatic compression pump’ that has been manipulating his ankles over the past 46 days. This was a new movement on his own. Some of the nurses even stopped by to watch the action (and enjoy the concert.) Ok, ok, he hasn’t got his beat back. But it is the beginning of a start. This man does love his tunes, even in his current foggy state.
Speaking of tunes…here is a little sample of our friends Hans and Janine, playing live at Mission Hospital Surgical Intensive Care Unit. You can see why the staff (and a few wandering family members of incapacitated patients) found themselves drawn toward our open-doored room. Vernon’s room continues to be a little corner of heaven in the ward.

And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music. – Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
