It was so great to see my son's blue eyes again after being gone for three nights. I am wearing a mask while I am in the room with him so I don't expose him to anything. I did get to wheel him around in the wheel chair today. He stayed calm and enjoyed the ride even though his mother was driving. They are taking him off of the bi pap breathing machine tonight so he will only have a machine that gives him a warm mist through the trache. It is another good step. I can't wait until he wakes up and can read all of the wonderful messages he has received from all of you. He will be amazed...we are so thankful!
