3.29.08 Morning Visit

Steve was chatty this morning! Unfortunately, we continue to be really bad at reading his lips, so we couldn't understand everything that he was saying. We do know that he asked Adrian and Amanda about his dirt bike and he said that he wanted to leave here already. We anticipate him to be asking really serious, big-picture questions, but yesterday and today he's just trying to make small talk. It took us a while to figure out that all he was asking Lindsey was "Are you working today?"

He was fatigued after having his vent turned down yesterday, so today they have it turned up to 18. He needed the oxygen. It's basically like yesterday was a respiratory workout day for him, and today is a rest day. We think this is why he is more talkative today. His swelling has gone down a lot. He's starting to look more and more like himself. The doctor said the other day that he had about 20 liters of liquid in him and his body seems to just be churning it out.

Again, MaryAnn and Joe thank you all so much for your continuous prayer and support.
