I want to thank each and every one of my facebook family and friends for all of their heartfelt prayers, positive thoughts and support throughout all of this. I actually got to speak with my nephew today. He sounds weak but determined. They are actually saying he's doing much better and he's off the ventilator for the moment but still on oxygen. He is still being fed by the tube going through his nose but it's all getting better. Next they are moving him out of the critical care wound unit and off of icu where he has been totally isolated. The are talking about building a ramp at his home for the wheel chair but first he has to go to a rehabilitative center to learn to run the wheel chair and to teach him to take care of himself. He's too weak to go home yet but the fact that they are speaking about it thrilled me to no end. To actually hear him say that he loved me was a gift straight from God. Many times I thought I'd never hear it or get to tell him that I loved him back. But today I did!!! This is one of two nephews that I was with 5 days a week while his parents worked as I grew up so he means so much to me, closest one I had to being a little brother. Please continue to pray for him, help bring him home, help his parents to have strength through this going on 8 weeks ordeal and for the weeks ahead. Thank you all so much! ~Patti
