Another Good Day for Bruce

As of 5:15 Sunday Bruce had been off the ventilator for a personal-best of nearly 9 hours! He had passed all tests. They will put him back on to sleep tonight. But this is a huge step in getting off that thing permenantly. Keep the prayers coming!!!
We also learned that yesterday he was sitting up in a chair for about 40 minutes. That was a bit much for him, and he got pretty exhausted, but it is an important step. We don't always think about sitting in a chair as excercise, but they muscles needed to keep yourself upright haven't been getting a lot of use for Bruce, so it was a good work out for him. One step at a time.
