Mike's Update

Mike had his tracheoscopy yesterday around noon and everything went well.  He was tires and sore but managed a smile here and there and asked for his legs to be streched.  I saw him around noon and he was still a little tierd and sore and a little frustrated that he still cant talk because they are giving him oxygen through the trach now.  They are going to unclip it for a few hours in the Am and PM every day to get his strength so he eventually can be off it completely. During the times he is off, he can talk, but it will still take a bit due to swelling and soreness from the Ventilator.  It's baby steps now, but the Dr did say his xdray looks a little better today and that he expects him to make progress slowly. 

I will be with him tonite to watch the Red Sox game so I'll let you know how he is doing in the AM.

Red.

Jean had called Sunday to let us know about Mike getting the tracheoscopy and explained what you say here, Jeff. Mike has been through so much already up to now - and while this sounds so uncomfortable and though the progress has been and will still be slow for a bit longer - the news is mostly good and forward-moving. No doubt Mike is totally wiped out and frustrated - but no surprise either that he has managed a smile or two. I just hope the Red Sox didn't knock the smile off his face last night (Dice-K - go away!). The Sox, like Mike - will continue to get better day by day from now on. Can't wait to see him for the golf tournament. LOVE - Aunt Nancy
