Day 17 hour 4

The physical therapist once again told us what the doctors have told us all along. It was a low point of the day but we are on the uphill side of the roller coaster again. His doctor just told us they are going to give Tony some time before they do the tracheotomy because he is showing some signs he may be able to breath on his own soon! A few days after we got here one of his night nurses said something I have been clinging tightly onto. She has been working in the ICU for 10 years. She said what the doctors are telling us is based on the statistics of people with severe brain injuries like Tony's. They don't take into account that we have an awesome God and she has seen people do well they never expected to survive. God has his plan in this and
I will trust in him.

  1. Paula & Mike,
    I truly believe that God will bring Tony through this.

    In reading on the internet, no brain injury cases are the same...and the doctors just don't know outcomes.
    So I will put my faith in God to allow Tony to use this experience, this nightmare to spread the power of God.
