Chris had an uneventful night. Carolyn and I have just visited with him. The ventilator has been turned down just a bit, they have taken him off of one medication as well. Today they will work on getting him off of an inhaled medication and then they will be able to work on weaning him from the ventilator. Dr. Puga was very pleased with Chris's progress. The ICU nurse said they might also try to take out the chest tubes today as well. Each little change is a step ahead in his recovery. Carolyn and I will be able to pop in and check on him throughout the day. I'll post as changes happen. It is a beautiful sunny day here in Rochester-God has surely sent his blessings to us. Mary Jo

Mary Jo, the blog is such an
excellent idea of yours.
And Carolyn, it was good to talk
to you earlier. I talked to Bob
just a bit ago, and, he said,
"What super good news."
We continue to keep all of you in our thoughts and prayers.
Our love to each. Lyland and Bill
