Marty has been more alert today; looking around the room, moving his head and his eyes. It seems that the intubation tube is somewhat bothersome to him. There was talk that the tube might be removed today but they want to be very certain that he's ready for this next step, so it hasn't happened yet and we will wait patiently to see if this will happen tomorrow. We are cautiously optimistic as Marty continues to give us the thumbs up for good morning and to squeeze our hand to say goodbye. Today he also gave a small wave at several different times during the day to different family members to say hello or goodbye.
Today seemed to be a good day. We continue on this journey step by step testing each day to see if the steps of the previous day will hold our weight before we move on to take another step. We eagerly await what tomorrow brings.
"The LORD is righteous in all his ways and loving toward all He has made. The LORD is near to all who call on Him, to all who call on Him in truth. He fulfills the desires of those who fear Him; He hears their cry and saves them."
Psalm 145: 17-19
"Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever! Amen."
Ephesians 3: 20, 21
