Ups and Downs

Todays update:

It had seemed as though Joe was making small amounts of progress on Wednesday. According to the nurses his lungs where sounding clearer but the decision was made to continue with sedating him until this Friday.

This morning it was reported by the doctors that Joseph has experienced a partial collapsed lung. They where going to attempted a procedure to re-inflate his lung but due to potential complications they have decided against such measures. So for the time being his respiration has been shallow and the doctors are watching to see if his lung will inflate by their own. We are still unsure if they will revive Joe on Friday due to this latest development.

  5. We never met, Joe, but you have been a good friend to Tom when he moved away from all his friends and family on the east coast and that makes you a good friend to me! I am praying for your recovery! Get well soon!

  6. Ok, this is the deal.... If brotha Joe doesn't snap out of this very very quickly I'm going to have to personally go in there and kick his butt. I'm thinking he might not know that every day he stays in the hospital hooked up to those machines in more recovery time and we all know how much he HATES recovery time.

    ARrrrrrrg....Joe, make up your mind!!!! Gix misses you something awful... He said he just wants daddy to come home and skirt him with the water bottle ;-)

    We love you Joe. ;-)
