It has been a LONG few days! We have been patiently waiting for things to start looking up, and it seems like today they are. This morning they did a tracheotomy on dad. They will use his trach to assist his breathing so that they can take him off of the ventilator. He can then be mobile and get up and start moving! The trach surgery went well, and he is now sitting up in bed! HUGE progress as far as we are concerned! The nurse gave him a shave, and washed his hair, which I am sure made him feel better too!
They are hoping to get him up and walking tomorrow! David will be able to visit for the weekend, and I think that will make Dad feel good! I will be going out next week to stay for a few weeks as well!
Thank you for all of your calls and well wishes! We really appreciate it!
