From Brad ...
I talked to the nurse tonight, and she said he is still doing okay.
He's starting to talk a bit, and she said he seems more alert today than in prior days.
The talking is a little difficult for him. They think the vocal cords may have some slight scar tissue due to his self-removal of the respirator.
Also, he still has some respiratory secretions - so until he is healthy enough to cough that up, the talking will still be somewhat difficult. She implied that the difficulty right now in speaking is not stroke related.
