As you all know, this has been a very rough ride...and the ride continues. We've been trying to get that ventilator out since Saturday, but to no avail. Josh can go most of the day breathing on his own, but a some point he loses oxygen and the machine has to be turned back on. Because of this Josh is going to have a tracheotomy to allow him to have breathing assistance for a longer period of time. It is also easier to wheen him of this because it can be easily put in and taken out.
Please say a prayer that this surgery goes well. It will take place tomorrow.
In the mean time Josh is awake and communicates with finger spelling and hand squeezing. Although his strength is much better, he still has a hard time staying awake and comfortable for very long.
As I think I mentioned before, his top layer of skin is peeling off, causing great discomfort. Plus he has general pain from all of the trauma.
Keep those prayers coming!
