I know that everyone is wanting to know results and how things are changing and it is not going to happen quickly. I will post things as I get them but sometimes it may not be much.
The lungs have been the biggest issue as of late. The doctors have Guy on a special bed that rotates and allows the pressure to each lung to be relieved and filled full of oxygen and then rotates him to the other side. This is helping the injured lung and helping his body get fully oxygenated.
The air pocket in the lung is a little smaller now than it was yesterday. Meaning not as much air in the wrong place. He is still on the ventalator and the lung is still draining fluid (but not alot).
When his sedative in reduced he does show some signs of response. Grasping hands, wiggling toes, blinking eyes. He will turn his head to voices. But when the sedative is reduced he wants out of the bed, which can not happen. His body needs rest to recover, so he is kept pretty sedate.
Prayer needs for tonight:
Guy to rest and healing. I am sure his ribs are hurting and he does not like being strapped down, so also cooperation from him in keeping still.
For Keith, Sherry, Ginger, Dwayne, Heather, myself and the rest of the family-REST this may be a long wait.
We all appreciate the prayers-Keep it up, Guy needs you and so do the rest of us.
Vicki, you guys have been in my thoughts and prayers all day. "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9--

Give the kiddos a big hug for me, and tell Guy that Haylee is depending on him very soon to get her to school late so that those 1st hour tardies will stay consistent. :) Please let us know how we can help you and your family in any way.
