Making Progress!

From Mom (Pam): Today Dad is doing good.  He was put back on the vent for the evening and will be taken off later this morning.  Yesterday he was breathing on his own with just air to his nose, but not forced in, until 8 pm.  We watched the game together and I think he was kind of watching it, too.  He can move his head to signal yes and no and is moving his right foot & leg again.  His right arm - he is able to lift it and put it back down.  He sometimes seems to signal with it, but we're not quite sure.  All signs are good and the nurses have told me that he is ok'd to move out of the ICU, but we are waiting for a bed. Thanks to everyone who is keeping us in their thoughts!

  4. As a former student of "Mr. Cahill," I can attest to his strong sense of humor, an attribute critical to recovery. Keep on laughing, my friend.
