My goodness, what a great day. We met with the doctor. He said, "Neil's lungs are progressing". Those are the sweetest words we have ever heard. He has moved Neil to the "regular" ventilator. Please be clear, Neil has progressed from the bi-level ventilator to the pressure controlled ventilator to the regular ventilator. The setting is at 15 PEEP, 40% oxygen and 18 breaths with oxygen sat of 93-94. Neil's blood pressure is up, but that is expected. Neil is losing 3-4 liters of fluid a day. The doctor said he thinks early next week, he can add another mesh over Neil's abdomen. All news today is good news.
Please know our lives are centered around the SICU waiting room. Of course we are in Montgomery but have been with many friends with loved ones in SICU. We have been able to celebrate many discharges to Hope Hull, Greenville, Prattville and Tallassee. Please continue to pray for their recovery. Your prayers have blessed us and many of these people with miracles. We cannot thank you enough. Please be safe in your travels.

Dear Lucia and everyone:
Last night at church we sang "Victory in Jesus." As we sang the second verse, it hit me that this really says it all: "I heard about his healing, of his cleansing power revealing, how he made the lame to walk again and caused the blind to see; and then I cried, "Dear Jesus, come heal my broken spirit," and somehow Jesus came and brought to me the victory."
Praise God! Much love and hugs, Sara and Al
We are rejoicing in the good news. Truely we are greatful for the recovery that is taking place. We understand there is still a long road ahead. But God will complete that He has begun. We love you all and keep you in our prayers.

Lucia and all. I had to respond to your comments. You have always been our pillar of support. Any time our sweet son was about to drive us up the wall, Lucia was our go to mentor, counselor and rock. How could everyone not love and support you and Neil and family?
