Still Breathing on His Own

The doctors decided to see how long they could leave the breathing tube out and Scott went all day long breathing on his own.  Amazing!  This is great, not only because of what it means in terms of his brain functioning, but it also reduces the risk that he will catch pneumonia or other hospital related illnesses that could set back the recovery process.

He has not responded to any voice commands from the nurses or Jen since that one time a few nights ago, but that will come and it probably just means his body is busy doing other things right now.

    Scott has never responded to voice commands from me prior to the accident so this is no surprise.
    The love and support coming in from friends and family is helping so much!
    Love, jen

      Jen, I've been thinking of you, Scott, and Floyd since I first heard about the accident. Please let me know if there is anything at all that we can do for you guys.

      ps: Penny is a kick ass little sister for putting this together for you, but you already knew that.
