That's what the nurse told Ken and I do believe he was a little taken back. It is so easy to lose track of time in the hospital. As many of you know the hours and days just run together to where all you know is when you have a new nurse it has been twelve hours.
TODAY HAS BEEN A GREAT DAY OF PROGRESS. When I arrived this morning his eyes were big and panic stricken. He was on the trach collar and off the ventilator. He told me not to let anyone do anything to him. He then informed me he could walk - take me home. After explaining again that no one was going to hurt him and, that they were trying to help him and, that he was making progress, he finally calmed down. The progress today has been:
1) His blood pressure remained up even when moved around.
2) Swelling is going down.
3) Dialyses has been removing fluid without blood pressure dropping.
4) Is able to bend his fingers further and maintain his hand upright
when placed.
5) Was off the ventilator from 9:00 am to 12:00 noon.
6) Went off ventilator around 3:00 and has been on trach collar ever
since!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HUGE PROGRESS TODAY!!! Everything seems to be coming together with that balance that is needed.
We both have known from the beginning that this whole journey is on God's time table and I have mentioned that so many times. Not knowing what that time table is though, when I look at how long it has taken us to get to this point on the calender, I begin to get a little concerned about the practical things back home. I need to keep on Trusting God with ALL the DETAILS and know that He has the answers for everything. Thank you for continuing to PRAY, and for REJOICING with us in Ken's progress.

Hey Bertie,
All the things you listed as progress are fantastic! Especially having seen Ken a few weeks ago, I can picture in my mind these new accomplishments. Tell him Blazer has started dismanteling the Hard Rock bear. (Hope you get an eye roll for that!)
Love ya, Cher
PS...Trust in God's timing, it's always right.
Hey Bert and Ken,
This is all great news, tell Ken that the neighbors as Tom about him when he's talking his walks.
We are so looking forward the you both coming home when Ken is able to do that.
Thinking of you both daily.
Brenda and Tom
