The updates may be a little less from Kim & Duane because they can't take the laptop in the room. Everything still has to be scrubbed down good. So, they will keep talking to us and we will try to let you know what's going on the best that we can! The Doctor left an order to have the Bolt removed (the thing that meausures the brain pressure). So, that should be done sometime today! Then they will be able to do the MRI on his neck and if everything is okay with that, they may also be able to take the collar off his neck. He is moving pretty good and his eyes are open more often. Kim put the phone on speaker phone for Grandma Laub to talk to him and Kim said his eyes were rolling. That means he could hear her! That is great! His heart rate and fever are still a bit high. So, they are trying to control that.
Thank you all again for your continued prayers and support!

Sunday Morning
Hunter's starting to wake up. It's really awesome to see. He's opening his eyes up a little and raising his left arm about 6 inches off the bed. He responded to the nurse when she told him to squeeze her hand. It's all so wonderful to see, all except the little tears that we wipe from his eyes.
Jessica took the 1:00 - 6:30 shift and says she only got 30 min of sleep, because of Hunter's movement, you just want to be there the whole time so you don't miss anything.
The Infection Specialist came by all ready this morning, in fact I rode the elevator with him, but had not meet him before so we had no idea we we're coming in to see the same person.
He says Hunter is on 4 different Antibiotics, He said they are trying to stay one step a head of him. His white blood count is 51,000 and normal I guess is 10,000. He said it's most likely from the c-biff ??name?? But things are looking up.
We have a new nurse today named Teri. She's with Hunter now doing the usual clean up and changing his bedding. That is such a chore, as we all know he's a big boy.
The Dr.'s should be coming by anytime in the next hr.
