March 19 2:40 pm
Just visited Neil. WOW!!!!!! They have lowered the sedation and Neil is a bit alert. The nurse said the sedation will stay at this level until Neil cannot manage the pain. The nurse said Neil would be able to let him know. We were able to remind Neil about the accident and let him know his leg was broken. Neil was calm but was trying to talk. We were able to reassure him and love on him. He is responding well to the ventilator setting which is the same as this morning. The ventilator is at 15 PEEP, 16 breaths a minute, 40% oxygen. His oxygen sat is at 95-96. Neil's blood pressure is a bit high but they are not giving any mediation for this right now. They started the lasix back yesterday. We are soooooooo excited. There are many tears of joy, thanksgiving and love for all of your prayers that have gotten us here. Please keep praying for Neil's lungs. Also add Katey, my friend and colleague, as she travels to help her daughter, Mary. Thanks so very much.

Wow! What a great day. I am so excited for all of you. My eyes filled with tears as I read and could feel your excitement. God is certainly using this week, not only to remind us of the miracle of Easter, but also, to remind us that miracles are still happening everyday. I love you and continue to pray and hang on every word.
