One step ahead

Troy had a better day today. He was alert this evening and we were able to understand that he wanted to sit up. The nurse adjusted his bed some, but he must stay at a certain elevation because of the ventilator. They said he took his first step today toward getting off the ventilator...they adjusted his setting and did fine. Although they did stress that he would have bad days and good days, it felt good to have a good one today. His feedings are going well and he no longer has an IV drip. He still gets medication when needed through the IV, but nothing continuous. One less tube! Thank you Lord for giving us a good day. "Our God is an Awesome God"
