Today was an even better day!
Bill requested and received tomato soup for lunch. He gets to eat real food now all day long, but not yet in the evening. He got his brace put on, and even though he doesn't seem to like it very much, it is huge progress towards getting him sitting up and moving around (not weight bearing). Best news? He comes out of ICU either today or tomorrow to a "step-down" unit!
Mom was extubated for the 2nd time, and it looks like this time will be a success. She struggled a bit at first, but then started doing wonderfully. After she came off the breathing tube, she sat in a chair for almost an hour and a half and was completely patient while we all fussed over her. After a pep talk, she is now wanting to know when she gets to start PT and working out. It might be a while before that, but there is a whole lot of fight there. We keep telling her she has to keep up with Bill and get out of ICU too.
They are both AMAZING! A doctor that worked with them the first night stopped by to see how they were doing and was floored by how great they look. We are so excited and happy, it is truly incredible. Thanks to everyone who has been following their progress and praying for them, we cannot express how much we appreciate it!

Kelly, Karen and family - this is the best news! We are so happy that the progress is going so well. Every day when I pick my daughter up from school the first thing she asks is "how are Anne and Bill today?" Please tell them how much we miss them and how happy we will be when the time comes for them to come home.
