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..

Yeah! Such windeful news to hear happy progress. My kids ask me to check for updates in Alex everyday. Sophee was with me when we read this and gave a big smile and said "I hope he gets to come home soon."

It is good to hear he is making progress. Baby steps are fine, we will keep praying he will progress to the point he can play the way he has always wanted to. Hang In there and take care of yourself. We love you all. You have a wonderful family.
