Windy, windy day here. Middle of June almost and I am still freezing. Will probably won't be moving out of ICU today, maybe tomorrow or Friday. He was bleeding a little more out of his lungs or from his trach. So our drs. called in a pulmonologist (lung specialist) who deals with this type of thing. He wanted to do another bronch to see what he can see. He did it this afternoon and they found some spots around the trach that could be causing a lot of the trouble. They cauterized the spots so they wouldn't bleed anymore and looked around for any other problems. They decided that they are going to put in a longer trach tube as soon as they get one. Another thing was that the bulb that is at the end of the trach isn't working right, or positioned wrong, or something. It will be helped when they changed the trach tube out. This might even help with his vomiting problem. Maybe things will be helped by all of this. He is in a lot of pain but they are giving him some of the good pain meds. He slept most of the afternoon. He did still go on a t-trial two times for a total of eleven hours, I think. Will's asleep right now or I would check with him. He didn't have to walk today because of the procedure. It was a little more extensive than just the normal bronch.
Angel has been making him smile today. We miss that because Will always had a smile. I hope by the time Dr. Cahill comes back next Tuesday he will be smiling a lot more. I see a little difference in his attitude lately. Maybe we will be getting the old Will back soon. I pray that this will happen so these nurses could see what a funny person he really is. He would have them all nervous with his practical jokes. I have grabbed some more old pictures of Will that I will be sharing a couple at a time. Some of you will remember them. I should do them Thursday or Friday, so check the blog out.
I think I will sleep now, first I will say my prayers and thank God for these wonderful blessings he has given us. Close family and good friends--what else do we need????
God bless

P.S SORRY IF ANYTHING IS MISPELLED, I'M AT WORK AND HIT HAS BEEN BUSY.
WILL, looks like your Celtics are doing very well. I never paid much attention before I knew you liked them. Now I'm rooting for them. You just increased their fan base. I suspect this has been happening to others keeping tabs on you. Sorry Coach. "Win, Celtics, Win." I'll bet you are stoked with last nights win. Sharing a smile with you.
Hope the new ideas the Drs have will make things better for you.
God Bless You and Yours.
