Jerry is doing GREAT!! He has not had any complications except for some fevers (maybe a virus or something) and a kind of skin infection that developed under his arm. He is off of the paralytic drug which is allowing him to move a bit. Sometimes he moves too much (cartwheels and such)and he is given more sedatives. His ventilator is being turned down a tiny bit at a time and he is taking a few breaths over it. These are all good signs that Jerry will be extubated with no problem. Likely this will be tomorrow. It is emotional for us when he cries (it is silent grimacing with tears) but we know it is normal and temporary. He is still very "out" and does not remember from one wakeful moment to the next. Big Brother Isaac is doing well. There are definately signs of adjustment but thanks to Grammy and Nonno he went to Prairie fest and also to a parade. Jerry sent him home a Scooby Doo balloon which brought big smiles! Thanks to everyone for their thoughts and prayers!

What an amazing and strong little boy. He has been through more in his first 13 months than most of us go through in a lifetime. I'm glad he is doing well. I hope he is able to get off the ventilator tomorrow as planned.
