I talked to Becky this morning and there is really nothing new. It sounds like Blake is still working quite hard to breath. The Dr. seems to think that he would have been able to pass his swallow test if he had not been so exhausted from breathing. It is amazing that he was able to make it this long without having some other ill effects with his breathing or serious infection in his lungs. He is a real fighter and he has two very loving and concerned parents that take such good care of him. The surgery is still on for Monday. Aleah will meet with the people that will train everyone on how to care for Blake that morning. I guess they have a doll and they will show her what they are doing and try to explain how she can help and how to treat him etc. Then everyone else will be training Tuesday-Friday. They will not release Blake until they feel comfortable with Chad and Becky's ability to care for him with the Trachea Tube.
