Day15 hour 18

Tony has been opening his eyes half way this morning on his own. He can't respond yet to requests to move toes or fingers. He has a bacterial infection growing in his lungs which they are treating. His brain is still swelling some but the drain is working and they are occasionally increasing his sedation for short periods of time to control his icp. He is still on half the sedation his was on before. He hasn't used his lungs for 2 weeks so the muscles are weak but he's breathing . The plan is to leave the breathing tube in for 5 days and then give him a tracheotomy so they can ween him to breathing on his own. Thank you Lord for bring him this far. Please continue to pray for a full recovery.
