Last night and today have been going great..they sprinted Ian last night or should I say early this morning from 3:00 to 5:30am and he did amazing. Just as amazing as earlier in the day. He has been sprinting since 12:30 this afternoon, it is now 6:25…they are letting him go as long as he can. The RT even did his vest chest PT and he held his numbers steady. Not sure what they will do for sleeping yet, will have to see what the night shift doctors want to do. For the most part Ian’s spirits have been good, we have had a little bit of down in the dumps with him wanting to go home…and who can blame him…I want him to come home as well. We still have a ways to go as he is still not eating by mouth plus we need to see what doctors are going to do for sleeping and the bi-pap. His oxygen levels have been holding steady around 98 and the staff here are getting to see the true Ian…the funny little man that he is. They stopped his anxiety medicine this morning and he has been doing great without that. He just asked me to drawl...in addition it is amazing to hear everyone who walks by say how amazing and good he looks...way to go my superhero...

We are all holding our own and just taking everything one day at a time…Becca has been a true trooper the past week and a half…as well as Brian and I…it has been a lot of juggling with many different things and for that I am very proud of Becca, Brian and Ian…they have all been wonderful and shown true strength…I love all of you with all my heart.

Still following along and glad Ian continues to make progress. Wishing all of you a healthy New Year!---Trish Redding
