Candy was the nurse again for Mike. She had just given him a sedation vacation when I talked with her (around 5:45am Utah time) She said we was very alert and wanted his wallet and a beer. She told him she was only able to give him nutrition through a tube right now. He was on the vent last night to give his lungs a break because he was on the T-piece for quite awhile yesterday. She said he slept well for about 5 hours and then woke up and that's when he got his "vacation". I really like hearing that nothing eventful happened and everything is status quo.

Candy said that the night crew got a lovely surprise of Chocolate! Thanks Diana!!! They were very happy about that.

Thank you to everyone who is following this blog. There will be a report this evening and then a small break while we go out of town for a "thing" and we will be back to blogging on Monday around midnight upon our return. I tried to get Bette to take over while I am away, but she said she's doing good to send an email. I won't be within phone or email contact so please bear with us...or feel free to post comments....maybe that will work? Let me know what you all think....

More later,
and so we go
