Day 9
We are so sorry that we weren't able to get an update out yesterday, but no news is good news right?
We do have some little updates, the latest blood cultures they did for E.Coli were NEGATIVE! Which is AWESOME news, and means that his blood isn't growing the bacteria anymore. But he'll still be on his antibiotics.
News that bugs, well he is still dependent on his ventilator. We need to get that sucka OUT! Please bless that Papa's lungs will work well enough to get him off of the ventilator. The problem is this one thing called the Vegas Nerve. I swear I am not making this up. When Papa coughs, the nerve is triggered which causes his heart rate to drop drastically and sets off a whole lot of alarms. Please pray that he will not "vegal" anymore. (that is a big reason why they can't take him off of the ventilator)
Aside from that, he is opening eyes a bit more, cracking some sign language jokes, and even smiling VERY faintly. (we love that stuff) Also, today his nurse gave him a shave, but saved a very nice mustache. It's impressive really.
Thank you for your prayers,
and until tonight,
The Baers
Love from Papa:
