TGIF

We can't begin to express how much all of the prayers coming from literally around the world, including Kenya, England, Australia and China -  literally around the world- are helping Jason and his families.  We are convinced that is why he has had a good day today after a tough one yesterday.

It has been in the nurse's words, "an awesome day for Jason."  All of his numbers are looking better and overall his need for ventilator support is very slowly decreasing.  They are still expecting he will need  breathing help for at least another week and plan to put a tracheal tube in as soon as they feel his lungs are well enough to tolerate the procedure.  This should make him more comfortable, allow the nurses to care for his mouth area better , and relieve irritation to his vocal cords.  Once that happens and his lungs are stronger the neurologist can start working on decreasing his sedation and making his neurological status the priority again. 

Another thing that made our day was Jason passed the 72 hour mark since the accident and his trauma doctor saying he feels Jason is out of danger of any worsening brain damage.  He is still in critical condition but each little step is something to give us hope for a full recovery!

 We do believe in the power of prayers and miracles and we do believe in the power of the love going up around the world surrounding and healing him.

I wish I could hug you all!
