Thursday

(you can move the pictures in the slideshow by clicking the right and left arrows at the top)

The doc just came in and the plan (yeah, right, like we can make a plan) is to keep Dad on the ventilator but move it to a trach on Monday. They will have an ENT do this just to make sure there are no issues with his other throat incisions. This is a step forward as it will help him to breathe easier and it is easier to wean off a trach than all the other tubes. Plus, this will allow him to start some therapy and be a lot more comfortable. This is a good thing!

He is resting comfortably now and we were finally able to find FOX news. Perhaps it is a good thing the senate passed the health care plan while Dad is out of commission for a bit. We are going to start a pool to see what his first words will be after the vent is out.

Until next time....keep up those prayers. We know we have angels watching over us.

We love you all....suz

P.S. David, the swirl is coming along quite nicely!
