GOOD afternoon and I really stress the "good", this is Reese writing by the way. Actually I guess I should say "GREAT"!!! Neil woke up this morning and one of Neil's respiratory therapists came in capped Neil's trach off and gave him oxygen through his nose. Which means that he is breathing like we all do! This was at 8:50am. He called Mom and said good morning and he later called me and talked to me for a good morning. The wound care team came in to check on Neil's leg and they came in and said that his leg looked 1000 TIMES BETTER!!! This is such great news and the days wasn't even 1/2 even over yet. Just a few minutes after the wound care doctors started looking at Neil's leg his orthopedic surgeon came by and said that his leg looked FANTASTIC! He didn't know that Neil's trach was capped off and he had been gone on a fishing trip for a week and so Neil asked him "Hey doc, where's my fish?" He about flipped out and with a big grin on his face said they were definitely on their way! Neil is having a great day so far. I know you have cut back to only one post a day but we couldn't make you wait on such great news!
ALSO Mrs. Sue's trach is out and she is heading to HealthSouth today. She just couldn't let Neil do everything before her and she's bustin' out of the joint today. So we told her to learn the ropes and we'll learn from her. We sure will miss her and Mrs. Susan and Mrs. Tommy Lee but can't wait to join them all at HealthSouth VERY SOON!!! See you all and missed you all!! Thank you all very much for your prayers!
***I tried a few times to post a photo but there is a problem with this application on blogger right now. I promise I'll make Mom post one soon!
