Saturday

Sorry about the missed entry. Time got away from me. Anyways, today was another good day. In the past few days we have continued to see improvements, specifically in Steve's breathing and the clearing of his lungs. He may be off the ventilator completely by Monday. He continues to be very active - today he even sat on the side of his bed briefly (with the help and instruction of the nurse, of course). His eyes open wider and he continues to be able to focus and follow people and gives indications that he knows what people are saying and doing to him. He also sometimes turns his head completely to follow peoples' voices. We are all feeling very positive about what's been going on in the past day or two, and are hopeful that he will be moved to the rehab floor sometime in the near future.
