Good Afternoon, All;
Good news - another "quiet" day in the hospital. I haven't been down to see Jack yet, but I just talked to Sandra and Peggy, and they say he is having a good day. The ventilator has been decreased again, and the nurse and pulmonary specialist both say they want to get him off this machine as soon as possible. Jack seems to be breathing well, on his own, and I'm sure they will get the tube out as soon as it is safe (and comfortable for him) to do so.
As always when a patient is on the "vent", the nurse still keeps him somewhat sedated and comfortable, but Sandra said her dad was very awake and very alert this morning. They are truly mastering the art of "sign language", and when the breathing tube is removed, it's a safe bet that Jack is going to tell us what he thinks!!! That's a good thing!!
Not much else to report today - Peggy (Jack's sister from Virginia) is still here, and probably will be for a few more days, and we've had visits in the past couple of days from a lot of friends and relatives, and we appreciate them all!!
Pray for continued progress, and give us a call if you have any questions. We love you all!!
Chip & Sandra
