The sun is out today

Throughout the night Pete's vital signs continued to improve.  As of this morning he is completely off of blood pressure medications that help maintain a stable blood pressure.  He is off one of the two drugs that are being used to control pain and keep him sedated.  This morning he was given a bronchoscopy to help clear his airway and allow continued independence from the ventilator.  Yesterday they started Pete on a feeding tube and have been trickle feeding him, so far his digestive system has been responding positively. 

All signs point to Pete heading firmly down the path to recovery.  We are still looking at a very long road to full recovery, however, if he continues to improve at this rate I may be able to have a conversation with my best friend sometime in the next week or two!

Thank you for all your love and support, it is greatly appreciated!
