Please know sometimes the blogs will be late as the doctor comes by and sometimes we can stay with Neil. Just visited Neil. The ventilator setting has been changed and he is responding well to this. The setting is 10 PEEP, 14 breaths a minute and 40% oxygen. The percentage of oxygen is now at the optimal level. The optimal level for PEEP is 5. Neil had a good night. This morning he has had a bath and the nurse washed his hair. The physical therapist came by for about 30 minutes. Near the end of the visit, Neil wanted DeAnn to call Sanbuck. DeAnn put the phone on speaker and Neil could hear everyone. How much fun!!!! Also, they were able to do a bit of business. Neil was able through DeAnn to check on a customer and the office staff was able to ask Neil where some files might be. Neil was smiling the entire time. Please pray for Neil's lungs. (DeAnn is getting some extra time with her visit. SHHHH!!! We do not want anyone to know and to get upset with us.)
Today is four weeks since the accident. This is a wonderful day and we are proud of Neil and so appreciative of the love and support you all have given him and us. We could not have made it through this experience without your prayers. Also, our offices have been great to make accommodations for our work schedule. Please know how thankful we are to Sanbuck, Goodwyn, Mills and Cawood, Inc., First Financial, Alabama Department of Rehabilitation Services, Elba General Hospital, Troy University and the Alabama Department of Human Resources. I have also had help covering supervision with Wiregrass Hospice. My goodness we are blessed.
Please pray for the full recovery of Sue, Shannon, Brian and our other friends here.
Please continue to pray for Mary. She is still having to have the shots and we hope and pray she soon reaches the therapeutic level to stop this treatment.

I get sooo excited reading the blogs & hearing of Neil's progress. You go Neil. We are so proud of you. Your computer illiterate Aunt Terry has finally found that I can send comments from my computer at work (Shh) Still can't from home. Just know that we love you & are praying for your complete recovery.
Love ya,
Aunt Terry
DeAnn don't get too good at lip reading or Neil will make you go back to work with him when he gets out of the hospital!! Not that you would mind, I'm sure. This was a blessed way to start my day. Love to you all, Kristi Wilkerson
Praise God for his many blessings on Neil! Keep up the good work Neil...we love you!
Chris and Destiny
I can't tell you guys how much we love your family and how excited we are to hear that everyday seems to be a bit better than the one before for Neil. We were so excited to see him on Sunday and be able to spend a few minutes with him. And Neil, when you get out, I'll take you to lunch and it'll be my treat. You save your gift certificates since Blake obviously didn't appreciate it and blames you for him getting sick (smiling). We love you you and can't wait to see you again. Oh yeah, Brayden say "tide tide" (that's his version of roll tide...Buford is teaching him well)

Hey to all!
I am in Birmingham in class and the 'host' is letting me check on Neil's progress. Things sound just WONDERFUL!! I can not wait for my day on Friday and do my day of 'Community Angel'! Give our love to Neil and tell him we are all SO PROUD of him and for him!
Love,
Aunt Virginia and Uncle Tim
Please know that we continue to pray for Neil's recovery. We are excited and thankful as we continue to see all of the baby steps that are being made each day. This marathon is keeping all of us in good shape in order to keep up with Neil's progress. Please let us know if you need a "care package" anytime soon. We know you probably need something but wont ask for anything. Remember we frequent Montgomery often.
Love,
Patsy, Margie, Shonda & Heather
