Like the title says, he is breathing on his own! The ventilator is still in, but it's off right now and he is breathing well and looks very peaceful. Also, his left arm has been trying to reach for the ventilator tube, his left leg has been bending and lifting of the bed, these are big improvements in hsi movement. He also opened an eye part way earlier. It's so exciting to see him breathing by himself. I know it's still going to be a long road, and it's not like he's going to wake up all of the sudden, but the little improvements are just so reassuring!! I'll let you all know the results of the trial and if they are going to extubate him.
Oh by the way, I got accepted to John Hopkins yesterday to the Masters of Public Health in Epidemiology!!!!! I don't know if I will be able to start in July, but just getting is great news, which I need right now. Maybe next year :)
