Dad weaned yesterday for 12 hours. He could have gone longer, but they put him back on so he wouldnt tire out and would be able to go again today. Which he is, and doing well.
They got the results of the CT scan of his pelvis back. He has a HUGE abcess in his bed sore. They are going to have a plastic surgeon or a general surgeon take a peek at it. They are seriously considering giving him a temporary colostomy bag because they just can't keep that wound clean unless they do, and we really need it to heal. Wounds like that can be fatal if they aren't treated correctly. That is how Christopher Reeve died and I am sure he had the best of the best medical care.
I am SO freaking happy he is where he is. These people are a God send and he really needs it.
Thanks everyone!!!

Liza - Thanks for the update. Praise God for the GREAT report. I am sure that if Jim could just get off the vent and start to communicate with everyone, we would all get an ear full as I can sense his frustration when he tries to talk. Getting the bed sore under control will be a great thing to have behind you guys also.
