Day 15 Morning Update

Scott had a GREAT night!

Isn't it weird that 15 days ago, we'd never have thought about being so happy to have Scott open his eyes and follow some commands?

Or be so excited to hear the doctor say his chest x-ray looks fantastic?

Or be so thrilled to have the doctor say he might not need the tracheostomy at all anymore?

Or be so glad that he did a breathing test on his own for 2 hours?

Now, obviously these are great things but as we've learned from all this...it is just one day at a time. But, we're happy about the beginning of this day! Scott will be on antibiotics for a couple more days and is still getting his new feeding tube placed today. Let's just cross our fingers that he continues to improve so he can come off the ventilator soon.
