Extubation day! Immediately after Jer was talking (albeit with a rusty voice) and asking for a Coke. He is hungry and thirsty and must wait perhaps the balance of today until he can have food. However, he has used his powers of persuasion on his nurse and scored some ice chips. Cognitively he's our guy.
Future plans: 1-3 days of PT and breathing and eating and talking and understanding all that has taken place.
Next plan: Go to the MRI see what the heart is like (we hope it is better than ecco suggests) and best case scenario will be a trip to the cath lab for a stint or two and we're outta here.
Prayer Requests:
Thanksgiving that we have come so far. And we are so thankful for all of you. Each of your prayers were heard and felt and appreciated. We feel your love. I truly feel that God holds us in the palm of his hand, never coming too soon and never too late.

Debbie & Jerry, Congratulations! It sounds as the extubation was a difficult, but great threshold to cross. You are both very brave. My prayers will remain with you both as you meet the challenges ahead. Things certainly are looking up. Marsha O.
