Breathing Tube is Out

Yesterday doctors removed Scott's breathing tube.  This is a big step.  He looked much more comfortable  without it.  The swelling continues to go down and the next step will be removing the fluid drain which, as I mentioned before, will signify that he is ready for transfer.  He is still moving around in his bed, primarily his right side and opening his eyes and looking around.  As of the time I left the hospital he had not responded to any voice commands yet.

  6. Scott, today we rang the bell at your house but to no avail. So we left a book for Floyd as an Easter present and a bag of grapefruit in front of your door. All our love--Brad, Josey, Malaya and Sydney.
