They had put Jason in a reclining chair to put him in another position and as he lay with his eyes closed Carolin quietly explained that they were taking the vent tube out of his throat. As she watched him and hoped she was making a connection he suddenly opened his eyes wide, reached up, and pulled the tube right out of his throat!
Guess Jason told them what he wanted - and it wasn't any more tubes even if it would be in a different place!
At this time all monitors are showing he is breathing okay with no help at all and if things continue that way there is no need to do anything further breathing wise. No tracheostomy and no feeding tube in his stomach. At this moment the only thing planned for this afternoon is a feeding tube which will go thru his nose and perhaps in a few days he won't even need that!
Needless to say our plans have once again changed and we are now definitely heading up to Lancaster General Hospital early this afternoon. I can truly say I am smiling again!
Somehow as devastating as this has been to all of us we continue to have this feeling that Jason will be different and beat the odds. We are trying to give him as much strength and unity as possible, and all of his friends and family, and even strangers now reading this blog, are making this happen thru their prayers and positive energy.
Someday we will all celebrate together and Jason will have the biggest grin of all of us!
COME ON J - REDSKIN SEASON STARTS SOON!
Amy, that is wonderful news! Go Jason!
