Neal passed the 2nd breathing test to begin removal of the ventilator this morning. He did so well, they hooked up the oxygen mist supply w/no vent support. That went so well they went ahead and installed the pass button that allows him to talk. That went so well…they pulled out the feeding tube! He is now eating normal food and oh yeah…. TALKING!!!
We spent the evening catching up during his dinner. It was WONDERFUL!!!
