June 12
We crossed a big milestone today! Steve's breathing tube was removed and he has continued to breath steadily and deeply all day today - so it looks like the ventilator is gone for good. His fever is down, too. They have been unable to culture anything out of the latest drain, so have stopped the antibiotics. It will be awhile before Steve can have a conversation, because his voice is pretty weak. but he was able to ask about his daughters.

This is fantastic news!! It brought tears to my eyes! Thank so much again for keeping us all informed! If we all look back at the daily updates, we have seen steady progress! Ask Steve if I can drive his car! That should really get his voice back! :) Love, Betty L
