Chuck continues to show some improvement. I just got the latest update.

Good news today.  Chuck's PEEP has been lowered to 8, and he's tolerating it well.  They may wake him up soon, but I don't know when.  It'll be a big transition, so I'm a little wary, but I'm excited too.

I didn't go see him today, b/c the weather has been dangerous. 

Thank you for all your prayers, food and good wishes! 

I'll keep you posted. And for those who don't really "get" snow, the reality is what she said. The weather is dangerous. It's been snowing for the past 24 hours and the roads are a mess. Even my cat is cursing the weather.

There continues to be slow improvement and Chuck has been taken off the meds that have kept him under for two weeks, in anticipation of removing the ventilator. It's slow and there is much to do just to get him breathing on his own again, but honestly, this could have easily gone the other way, so today we are thankful and have hope that tomorrow will be brighter.

The family thanks everyone for their prayers and wishes.

Chuck is now conscious but still on the ventilator. A tracheostomy was done to minimize the damage done by the tube to the throat and vocal chords. Once he can be weaned off the ventilator he will be sent back to the bone marrow transplant floor because is his immuno-compromised. Very slow progress and his lungs are still being treated for both pneumonia and DAH. Hopefully he can get off the ventilator soon.

Andy,

I am glad that Chuck has shown improvement and is receiving the treatment that he needs.  I can also see what a difficult road it has been for he and his family.  I hope that he recovers from all of this soon and safely returns home to his family.
