Joseph - He is still critical and on the ventilator, but continues to improve. He is now off the morphine drip (although he still gets some every 4 hours) and is breathing more and more on his own. Mom as able to hold him tonight for about an hour (GOOD). The docs are hoping to take him off the ventilator tomorrow and move him to to a CPAP machine. They still won't guess when he gets go home, but we are hopeful for a week or so.
Thanks to all of you for the love and support (spoken and unspoken). Please know it has an affect and we feel the support and are very grateful for all of it.
