Well I have to say your prayers are working. We were told that his diaphram was showing sings of being paralyzed and wean would not be possible at that time. He asked to be retested this week and numbers are in our favor. Evan numbers were 300 points higher that last week. He has been started weaning Evan did two yesterday for 5 mins. and today he has wean three times one with CPap which he lasted 15 mins. and two without CPap for 5 mins.
How weaning works is the repository therapist takes Evan completely off the ventilator and Evan breathes all by himself without help from the ventilator. It tires him out but he is working hard to be free of the trake. The doctor is very excited for this in fact she told him something is working done there for him to be doing so well. I also hear people asking if things have changed I can tell you as of now we are waiting for swelling to come down to really know what he will regain. This could take weeks or even months every case is different. As soon as the swelling starts to go down things will be able to communicate with the brain again and we will know the extent of the damage done. So keep the Sleights in your prayers. Thank you for all your support, prayers and love. Evan and Robyn
