What a rough couple of days!
Today Jim is breathing on his own! After two days of being intubated, they were finally able to take his tube out. He doesn't remember much of the experience, which is a blessing. He is finally awake, alert and coherent and to all of you that I have spoken to in the last few days, I let him know what you asked me to tell him!
His pain has subsided considerably due largely in part to his surgery last night, in which they were able to remove most of the blood that surrounded his liver that had not yet absorbed. During the exploratory surgery, they also searched for an answer to mystery behind all of this, and still came up with nothing.
It has been absolutly heart-breaking to watch Jim helplessly go through all of this and to not have an answer is beyond frustrating. At this point we can only hope for a full and speedy recovery. We still don't know much about what is to come in the next couple of days, but I am sure you all feel the same relief that I do right now in knowing that he is doing well.
A heart-felt thank you goes out to all of you, because I know he is as well as he is right now because of ALL of you and your love and prayers!
