Wednesday night update

Just a quick note to say thanks for all your prayers and thoughts! Terry is doing well, continuing to progress. Tonight the doctor says we take out the ventilator tomorrow. We'll see, not going to get our hopes up too much and we don't want it removed sooner than he is ready. He was a little tired tonight, but still very alert. He is very much with us mentally -- and just two days ago the doctors were concerned about that -- so good job Terry! He is very anxious to be able to express himself with more than nods of yes or shakes of no. He is a real trooper ...

It looks like we are going to be here awhile, unfortunately. But, there are much worse (and more expensive) places to be stuck, so we will just count our blessings. We hope to get an idea sometime next week as to how long we will be here. Hard to say now! Certainly a slow recovery so far, but he has been very sick. Not out of the woods yet, but doing better!

Thanks again and please keep up all those prayers and positive thinking, there is a lot of power in both. I am certainly trying hard to do both!

Lots of love, Tammy
