Wednesday

Steve is holding steady. The ICU and family ask that you hold your visits until further notice.

No new events overnight, which is great. Steve is still intubated and on the ventilator, but this is mostly for airway protection (he’s breathing well). This morning, he is very alert and moving all four extremities. He is trying to communicate, and actually was writing on a dry erase board with his right hand. Its frustratingly slow for him, as we all know Steve has a lot he wants to say. He actually asked about last night’s debate! 

To reiterate, this is a super slow process with day-to-day ups and downs but we are staying focused on the big picture. We are still trying to keep stimulation to a minimum and give Steve a lot of rest time. He knows everybody wants to see him and is sending their love, support, and positive vibes
