Overnight Update

Uncle Jon spent the night with TJ again and emailed me about it. To his credit, it was emailed long before it is getting posted.

I'll try to give a more timely report today.... At 10PM when I came in TJ had just been given a little morphine and Tylenol, as he had indicated to Deb that he was feeling some pain - she thought in his neck. The CPAP was put on at 10PM. Deb and I talked with TJ for about an hour; he was responsive with head nods and some expression. He was lifting his arms - like he was trying to stretch. At 11 we left TJ alone and he has slept most of the night. He was given another dose of Tylenol at 5AM. He is starting to wake at this point, so I predict today he will be more alert than yesterday. His temp has stayed been between 99 and 100.
A few minutes ago I asked him how he was doing. He started talking.. minus the vocal cords... I'm not sure what he was saying but it was so good to see him communicating. The miracle of healing continues to unfold before us. Praise the Lord.


PS: Thanks to whomever point out the name thing... cut and paste bit us back this time...
