Dearest All,
John is now being completely taken off the ventilator for a few hours a day and only has a little mask that sits over his tracheotomy that delivers oxygen if he needs it. This is called a trach mask. He used a trach mask for 3 hours yesterday and for 7 hours today. Because he is being weened from the ventilator he is almost always tired. However, we are able to spend quality time with him each day and get several smiles and yes and no head nods. He has been given a voice valve for his trach mask but hasn't learned to use it yet. We are so anxious to hear his voice again. Our hope is in the Lord. When we first began this journey on Nov. 5, we were told by a nurse who had 19 yrs. experience that we could pray all we wanted but that no vasospasms was not realistic. We just wanted to pass that on to all of you who were praying specifically that John suffer no vasospasms that through the merits of Jesus Christ our savior and the power of your prayers, John suffered no vasospasms. As most of you know we are now in Advent, a season of miracles (thank you Aunt Georgie). We lift all of you up to Almighty God. The King is coming, may you each receive many blessings as we await His glorious Nativity.
Thank you Rocco E., Charles Sr. and Jr., Billy M.
