Hello, we are still making progress. He is off all medication and is no longer being sedated. We were trying to wake him today and he would twitch his eyes a little but not open them. The doctor says it will take a few more days but to keep trying. The respiratory therapist is going to try to lower the pressure on the vent a little more tomorrow. They are working on getting it off all the way but that too will take a long time. Tomorrow he will be getting his first cat scan to make sure there is nothing hiding. He still has a fever so the cat scan should tell us where it is coming from. His doctor is going to sit down with us tomorrow and have a talk about what the prognosis really is and how long it will take him to recover. Hopefully they will bring good news and a quick recovery but only time will tell. Thank you all for keeping us in your prayers and thoughts. Again it is making all the difference.

Andrea, thank you for doing this blog. Going to chruch in a few minutes and I'm doing a St. Theresa Novena...your Dad told me when he was young he was an 'alter boy'. He always spoke of you and Nick with pride and with a big smile. I plan to do another visit early this week. I'm so happy his progress continues to change ...Go Steve!
