Good News!

Katie should be posting this because she got the news. Blake is getting his ventilator. They have been trying like mad to find someone that would service Ely. As of a few hours ago it was looking like Becky was going to have to make SLC or Elko her permanent residence. I don't know all of the details other than things worked out, Becky is very grateful and happy, and Blake is too.

It sounds like he is doing very well and the the doctors and therapist are very impressed with his progress. The PT said that Blake is doing very well, especially since he has been down for months and not able to do much. He responds well and is able to do everything they want him to. It sounds like he will still be in there for a little bit. I believe that the machine will be shipped to SLC so they have it with them as the drive home.

Mom, Chad, and Aleah were in for a couple days this week for training on the machine. I really didn't get a lot of information during that time to post. I hope it is because things were going so well with Blake that everyone was able visit and have an enjoyable time.

I hope they are able to get him home very soon. My grandpa Fred has been in the hospital in Hawthorn, NV for almost a week. We only found out about it a couple days ago because they didn't want us to worry. Grandma Margie says that he has been doing better, but he is not in good enough shape for her to take care of him on her own at home. They had to give him two units of blood and have been messing with his meds. He had been hallucinating and was really tired out. I know that it is really hard for dad right now because he knows he is where he needs to be helping Becky and Blake, but I am sure that he wants to be with his dad as well.
