Johnny is finally off the respirator!
Finally, he was considered well enough yesterday, and he came off of the respirator about mid-day. He has been on sedatives and pain killers for so long, he is waking up very slowly. We have a goal of getting up and walking around by tomorrow. Today will be for sitting up (and more waking up!). I stayed with him thru out the night to give him ice chips and sips of water as well as to make sure he accomplished his breathing exercises when ever he was awake.
He is in suprisingly good spirits.
Finally, he is coming down off of the mountain!

his wife
