Eventful Morning

It's been a eventful morning in the room of Hunter. I don't even know where to start.

Breathing - Hunter's nurse had a concern about his breathing tubes as if He had a kink, so his Nurse and the Nurse just over the breathing machine worked on it for a while trying to fix it.

Dr. Rounds - Dr. Mikia made rounds this morning the told me he looked at the head scan from yesterday and it look about the same, a little better. He says it's still going to be a long ways to go. (I'm taking that from now till we will be finished). He said they wanted to replace his breathing tube to one size larger and that the anesthesiologist??(sleep dr) would be coming up so they could do that.

Tube replacement - I was told that when they replaced the tube I would have to leave while they did it, so I went ahead and went back to the room, where Jessica and I made us a really good breakfast and hung out there, Meanwhile Duane called and said the hospital called and asked for permission to scope his lungs. I guess while they where replacing the tube they came into some goop. He gave permission so they did that. They were able to see he had a lot of goop in his lungs for they where able to suction allot of the out and they will run cultures on it. They are going to give him medicine to help loosen it up so it will all come out. Mary Jo says because of the drugs for the coma puts everything to sleep, the normal process we each do to keep our lungs clean was also asleep. So this is good.

Coma- GOOD NEW, GOOD NEWS!! Mary Jo just stoped the medicine all together for the coma. If his pressure stay down for the next 24 - 48 hrs. they will most likely remove the bard measuring the pressure in his head. (of course he'll stay sleeping longer) But his brain is waking up and If all this happens the way they want it to they will be doing a MRI on his neck to see if they can remove the neck brace from the accident.

His pressures have been reading 3 - 5 since Jessica and I got back.

Our hearts are full of gratitude for all these miracles that keep happening on our behalf. Thank you everyone for all your prayers.
