What a wonderful day it has been. Chris has done well off of the ventilator. He is on the Bi-Pap machine but they are slowly turning it down. Chris handles each change without a problem. He is very, very tired. As often happens with hospital patients, he is not getting good sleep. It seems like someone is coming each hour to draw blood for this or to deliver that. Hopefully now that he is off of the vent and has done well during the day he will get a better night's rest. I am hopeful that tomorrow will bring even more improvement for Chris. Have a good night. Keep the thoughts and prayers heading this way. Take Care. Mary Jo
