Sunday afternoon update....more waiting and a little progress.

We had hoped today would be the day for extubation but the doctors thought it best to wait again until tomorrow. However, the doctors did a trial run on the extubation (not sure exactly what that means, but that's what it amounted to) and Jerry did well. All of this means we're close.

Jerry is now off sedation and is awake and alert. He is nauseated, uncomfortable and needs rest, but he certainly did show signs of progress today. Overall, we should consider the day a success.

Please continue to pray for:
1. Patience and strength for Jerry and Debbie.
2. Pray for a safe extubation on Monday.

We continue to pray for Jerry and Debbie. I was concerned about extubation if he's still suffering from pneumonia. Having the tube in place will provide better ventilation and hygiene of respiratory system. Mild sedation can make the tube more tolerable. Food for thought. God bless.
