Michael continues to progress.

He was assisted by 3 people today to sit up with his legs over the side of the bed. It took us three tries to get him up because he had difficulty breathing, but he did it!
He is currently on a C-PAP (he is breathing and when he doesn't take a breath, it breathes for him). Today he was fitted with a Trach collar and for an hour he was breathing on his own with air blowing in the Trach tube. This is a method of weaning him off the ventilator. He did great! He is still on high levels of sedative for pain, but he is able to communicate. He is very tired. They were going to help him sit up again before Shabbat.
