I want to sincerely thank everyone for their prayers, thoughts and well wishes. The doctors removed all three of his chest tubes today and they have his oxygen way down from the 100% they've been giving him for the past 5 days. Another good sign is that when you hold his hand, and try to pull away, he tightens his grip to try to keep you from letting go. The first time he's done that. Gives us hope that maybe, just maybe, he's aware of our visits.
I'll keep you folks up to date as things progress.
