Update #8

I can hear his voice!!! Alex's village is amazing.. The nurses run their fanny off making sure every need is managed, doctors fret and worry over him, staff such as techs and housekeeping make sure he is super comfortable.. Every single person works tirelessly and with compassion and gentleness. Yesterday we started to remove lines and tubes, chest tubes, foley cath, pherisis catheters. Today Alex was successfully extubated. He is on high flow but holding his own. It's a much better place than last time. He has been able to talk to me. Asking for Chapstick for his super dry lips, his favorite stuffed dog Bensy, and little pink swabs with water. He is still pretty tired but is happy to have more mobility. We are all doing great as well.. Thank you all for the continued prayers and every other thing that has been done in our behalf..
