Ok, don't stop praying yet, but Brad has turned the corner. I've learned a lot about focus. We got really serious yesterday about making him do everything he's supposed to. You can't leave everything to the professionals and you can't leave it up to a fourteen year old. Rhonda is large and in charge. She worked him every 15 minutes from mid-afternoon until midnight. I left at 11:30 and she claimed they walked again afterwards. He and I walked and breathed great today.

Brad's off the demoral and onto Tylox, which appears to be working well. He's blowing above 700 and has gusts up to 800.

Reverend Joe came by today...also Uncle Les as Aunt Winsel is in town for a checkup. We fell off the exercise wagon due to visitors and exhaustion, but we're climbing back on now.

Thanks to EastGroup for the huge basket! Carolyn and Patricia brought it by and visited for a little while.

I'm kinda surprised because he has yet to cough productively, but if he does as well today as yesterday, we're going home tomorrow. The staph infection was in the fluid drawn from his lungs and I'm totally confused as to whether that means he has any infection or not. I assume not. Dr. Koury says head for the house tomorrow and Dr. Wade didn't object.
