Still Holding Strong

Today I can tell Mike is very tired from the long day he had yesterday. He was able to go until midnight before they needed to give him any medication to sleep. When I came in this morning, he looked like he was taking a nap. I walked over and kissed his hand he woke right up. His breathing is going so well with the trachea that at 1:15pm today they turned off and unplugged him from the ventilator for a 2 hour trial of self sustained breathing. So far so good. His rate was a little fast in the beginning but he's controlling it now. The doctors said as long as he can maintain a good volume and rate he might not have to go back on the ventilator. It wouldn't be a big deal if he needed to go back on the ventilator, they would run another self sustained breathing trail tonight and again in the morning.

Do the doctors have any prognosis yet on his conditions and when he will be moved to Kaiser? It sounds like he is making great progress. Give him our best!
Love,
Dan and Dorothy
