GOOD UPDATES!

I have such good intentions of posting several times a day!  Hopefully my foggy brain will do better starting next week.

There is no question in any of our minds that the prayers continue to be heard so please keep them coming.  We continue to see improvements - over the last 24 hours more than one.

In the early morning hours today his right lung collapsed again due to that chest tube getting a clog.  Fortunately this was discovered very quickly as they had just taken a chest x-ray, (as they do periodically during the day), and saw it.  The nurses were amazed that none of his lung monitor numbers changed.  It appears his left lung has healed enough that it was able to take over and make up for the right!  Incredible when just over 36 hours ago his lungs were so sick we almost lost him due to him becoming agitated when some medications were lowered.

All of his lung numbers remained stable and this afternoon they continued to lower the vent numbers and actually let him start doing more of the breathing on his own.   He is doing great with that! 

He is slowly showing signs of waking and we are eagerly looking forward to some communication that will start him on his true journey. 

Come on Jason!!!!
