Doing Well!!!

Well I just spoke to my dad, and he let me know my brother is doing GREAT!!! He was taken off the ventilator yesterday and is holding his own. He's pretty hungry, so today he will be able to eat some good old hospital food (yuk)!
I've been telling my mom about this site and all the great people who have given me hope and well wishes. She is looking foward to becoming a part of this family as soon as they go back home. Thank you for your prayers!!!

Elisha - Great to hear about your brother. Getting off that ventilator is a big step. Hopefully, he will be out of the ICU soon. Everything is uphill after that. Please tell him that I hope his recovey is speedy and uneventful.

That is great news!

His taste is going to be off so don't be surprised if he doesn't want to eat much. Of course, he could be so hungry that he doesn't care how the food tastes. Hospital food has improved somewhat so this should be interesting.

Please keep us up to speed and congratulations.

Hi Elisha-

That's terrific. Big relief, I bet. Tell your mom, we'd be honored to have her join our merry group!

You knew he would do it, didn't you. And he did. Isn't it just great. Tell your mom to give him a great big hug from all of us here at VR and keep one for herself. I am sure she has had a tough time, too. We will look forward to meeting her. God bless
