Jerry's doing better! The goal for today was for extubation. He must be fully awake for this proceedure. So the doctors began shutting off the sedation about 10:30 this morning and he really tried to come around, but is pretty tired after 12 days of sedation. So we are going to give him a rest until tomorrow am and try again. Don't think of this as a set back, think of it as a "dry run" for the real thing tomorrow. I saw those brown eyes a few times today, that was great. Dr. Cotts actually made a reference about Jer "walking around" before we take him back to the cath lab in today's team meeting. Seriously, I almost sobbed, that sounded so good.
God is holding us in the palm of his hand and we are forever grateful.
Specific prayer requests:
1. That the extubation goes swiftly and safely tomorrow.
2. Continued protection from further complications, (today's white count is SLIGHTLY elevated and he is running a very low temp)
3. That the outcome is one that includes, using ONLY his own body to repair itself, a quick trip to the cath lab for a stint or 2 and we're outta here.
