Titus had a restful day yesterday (Friday) and a good night last night. They have weaned him off the paralytic drug that he has been on, but upped the precedex which helps him sleep. So, he's sleepy, but able to move his muscles. Being off the paralytic also means he is over-breathing the ventilator a bit - which is good. His lungs sound good, but they are still sucking out a lot of secretions due to the flu and some of the medications he is on.
Becky went home last night (well - she actually went shopping first - but I understand a girl has to shop especially when she's been in the hospital 5 days straight). She will spend the day with the boys and then spend the night at home again. I spent the night at the hospital last night, and actually got a full night's sleep. Of course, I did apologize to the nurses and RTs prior to going to bed that my snoring can be pretty bad - and they said they wouldn't mind. (But I'm sure I sounded like one of Titus' alarms going off).
So today should be another day of rest and baby steps of weaning him off some meds.
Thank you for the continued prayers and support.

Praying for you all -
"Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary(The Daily Family) and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD (The Daily Family) will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary,they will walk and not be faint." Is. 40:28-31
God bless you all,
The Youngs
