A bend in the road
We have finally started to turn a corner, or at least reach a positive bend in the road. The steroids are kicking in and the nurses were able to start weaning him from the vent. They thought they may be able to extubate him tonight but it will likely be tomorrow or Sunday if he continues to do as well as he's done. They are giving him another blood transfusion tonight as his hematocrit was down and having more red blood cells (they carry oxygen) will help with extubation. Luckily, he will get blood from the same donor as his previous transfusion. Thanks to all of you who donate blood, we appreciate it! We hope tomorrow will be even better. A lot of you like the pictures. I promise we'll post one tomorrow.
