It's funny how things can change quickly. I stayed up with Isaac most of last night. It was an up and down night, but they certainly made progress on turning down the ventilator. Then at 4:00, Julie relieved me so I could go get a little rest. Just 4 hours later she called me in the room saying "they're taking the ventilator out; come down here". By the time I got to his room, he was unplugged and flailing. He's now down to just a few IV's, a feeding tube, and some oxygen in his nose. It's amazing. He looks like our Isaac again. The breathing tube has inflamed his throat and airways, so he's extremely raspy and sounds like he needs to cough all the time. But they have breathing treatments and some steroids that can help with that. Meanwhile they tell us we'll get to hold him soon. The doctors are on rounds right now and we're up next so I'll post later with more info.
Thank you all for your incredible prayers and please continue to pray for his full recovery.

Hi Kevin, Julie, and Isaac,
Add North Carolina to your list of states! We just got set up on email today and read your blog. We are thankful we got to read first that Isaac is now off the ventilator. We will keep all of you in our prayers.
