...the best part of my day !!!

Just wanted to give you all a quick update. Jared has been in ICU two weeks today. He started some breathing test yesterday to begin the process to get him off the vent tube and has done well with them. He has been up twice in the "chair" (not the kind we sit in) and it was a little hard for him but he hung in there for about an hour each time. All of his levels remain low...still waiting...infection/fever are the things we want to pray against at this time. Again they want to see his levels come up before they take him completely off the vent. He asked for some DVDs to watch today and they gave the OK for that and he also can have music playing in his room !! He has been taken off some of his sedation medication and that is a good thing but he can also get a little anxious at times. It is a tough road ahead but we are all pressing through. When they asked him if he wanted to get back up in the "chair" again today he wrote"whatever it takes to get out of here"....and seeing that fighting spirit come through... was the best part of my day! Thanks again for all you do for us !
