Day 25
Tear-jerkers...but in a good way!
Dear friends and family, we are so grateful that we have yet another blog post with good news. For the past three days, Papa Baer has had significant chunks of time OFF of the ventilator. This means independent breathing!!!
Papa independently breathed for five and a half hours on Friday, 8 hours yesterday and he is off of the ventilator right now! His lungs are getting stronger, and we are SO grateful. The tough thing is that he just gets SO tuckered out at the end of the day. The doctors said that that severe of a lung workout is the equivalent of running a marathon, and as the saying goes "all marathon runners deserve an early bed time" (who even says that?) we are trying to get Papa ready for bed a little earlier. So if all visits could be made BY 7pm, that would be fantastic. We do love your visits.
As for now, Papa is sitting up in bed, listening to some church talks and holding my Mom's hand. Oh guess what! He can independently put his glasses on by himself too! (I am not a spaz, he just did that and reminded me that I should post it on here)
We just want to do a little shout out to our Sorella Baer. Her light and faith has been a support for as long a we have known her, but especially during this time. It is no coincidence that she is our family's missionary during this trying experience. We love her fierce! Keep her in your prayers.
Until later today...when I PROMISE to update.
