We hit a huge milestone today. Dad's trach tube was removed and he is now fully breathing on his own! We are so excited and know that he will be too once he rests tonight. It was a busy day of physical therapy, a stroll with Mom around the hospital grounds and the trach removal. After weeks of ups and downs, we are all relieved to have a solid marker of his forward progress. This should make it easier for him to focus on his physical therapy and regaining his speech and mobility.
I had a dream that I met Uncle Denny at an outdoor restaurant as I was walking down a street. He was wearing a blue Hawaiian shirt and laughing. I was surprised how well he had recovered. :)
