Herston update 7-21-08

It is said a picture says a thousand words. Hopefully with this picture everyone can see the power of prayer. Herston was taken off the ventilator on Friday night. By Saturday he was awake and trying so hard to communicate with his eyes. He has progressed significantly and if he can remember how to suck (therefore eat on his own) he will get a one way trip out of PICU to the childrens unit.

Thank you for positive energy and throughts. If he continues getting better he could look at going home at the end of the week.

Today he is out of PICU and all the tubes are gone. He is still very congested but doing so much better. Thank God! Mom
