The Lord is answering so many prayers! Nurse told us this morning that last night was positively uneventful. His blood pressure is now being maintained without any medication. They put him on a feeding tube, and he has not reacted poorly to it (hopefully this will continue to strengthen his body...but they won't feed him Menudo, even though Tom Deliganis has offered to buy some). They took him off of sedation again, and he would open his eyes on command, and his hands/arms are still not quite the reaction they'd like, but he is "trying." He is being sedated simply to keep him resting.
BIG NEWS: The ventilator machine is now at 40% oxygen, which is the lowest they keep oxygen on that machine. He is also trying to take more breaths on his own. AND, today they are planning on removing the pulmonary balloon machine as they believe his heart is strong enough to do everything on it's own!
WHAT TO PRAY FOR: Again, his LIFE first and foremost, with quality of life. That God would guide the doctors in surgery today if they remove the balloon machine, and that dad will continue his improvements! And physical strength and health for Mom, and the rest of us as we are physically and emotionally drained, even with God's blessings this week.
