We received some “misinformation” regarding the ventilator… turns out Kelly is breathing on his own but still dependent on the vent. We also had a setback; Kelly contracted a bug, acinetobacter. This is a hospital infection being brought to the state by soldiers in Iraq which preys on trach patients and those with weak immune systems. There are several different types, some resistant to antibiotics, but we are seeing improvement.
Kelly is participating in daily physical therapy. Some days his eyes are open other days he sleeps a lot. He continues with his daily baby steps, however he remains in “coma” state. Once we beat the bug, we can get back to concentrating on creating a growing state of awareness.
Please know we need and appreciate your continued love, support and prayers. Visitors are still being kept to a bare minimum and we hope that you can understand and appreciate we are giving Kelly the best possible care in a protective environment. Your cards, calls, prayers and good wishes continue to be a major support and rock in all our lives. Our daily activities would not be possible without the outpour of love and goodwill we feel surrounding us.
Bless you and your families… take care of each other and know we keep you all in our prayers as well.
Marilyn, Kelly & Dustin
