The snow is absolutely dumping outside - we are so glad we have a hospitality room here tonight. I slept in that room - Nancy slept in Gabe's room - we both are doing great.
Gabe is doing great too. He coughed alot last night which everyone is glad for. He's getting that stuff out!
This morning he got a bath - had a poop or two - got a change of linens all that stuff.
His Xray shows an improvement in the pnuemonia. That's good. He's also coughing like a champ so with any luck it'll go away soon.
The docs, during the rounds today, told us that they would like to see the pneumonia diminish greatly in addition to seeing the swelling in the throat go down before pulling the breathing tube. So we're hoping for Saturday but docs say that it might be later.
Gabe pointed to his tube this morning and then pointed away - as if to say "take the tube out". We explained that he has to keep it in - that he's doing great and it'll only be a little while longer. Probably about 30 sec into that explanation he fell asleep. Probably a good thing.
Thanks to Lauren for buying dinner and Jamba Juice last night and bringing our clothes. We've got homemade lunch from Sandra Stuart on the way today so looking forward to that!
