They are turning Steve's ventilator down for short spells so that he has to work a little more on his own. Basically, they are giving him mini-breathing workouts, working toward the goal of possibly being able to remove him from the ventilator. Pretty awesome, huh?!!!
They took the staples out of his chin and that looks to be healing fine. They were sending in a muscular therapist this afternoon to hopefully move his arms and legs around a bit. Hopefully, he will have some sort of muscle therapy everyday.
His move to Atlanta has been moved to Tuesday morning because some of the insurance paperwork is still being processed. So in the meantime, he'll continue with his breath workouts and hopefully continue to strengthen his lungs.
Oh yeah, and I told him that I loved the nicknames here--Boomer, Bubby, Dirty, and once he's well enough we are going to work on one for me.
