Almost there...


Another great day of progress. No more morphine, no more meds, no more ventilator. Just nutrients via IV, some tubes here and there. The ventilator has made him a little horse in the throat, so his cry is restrained, but as the picture shows, his effort isn't. We got to hold him again today, though it's quite an ordeal with all of the tubes, etc. He's even doing so well that either sunday or monday he'll move down to "the floor", where we watch him with the help of a nurse whenever needed. At this rate, we may be home by next weekend! Praise the Lord for answered prayers.
