Joye's Update 6/11/08
Another successful day! Andrew weaned this morning for 2 hours, got up in his chair for therapy for 2 hours, and then weaned for another 2 hours this evening. He ate scrambled eggs for breakfast and had some freshly brewed (organic) vegetable juice and fruit juice for lunch. He was too tired to get up to eat or drink any dinner tonight. His tube feed is only going half time now (as of today), so that should increase his appetite. He is definitely the talk of the floor with the doctors and nurses with how well he's doing on his weaning . . . everyone is very impressed and surprised at how quickly he went from doing 20 to 30 minutes to 2 hours. It's much harder for patients with only half their diaphragm working to wean and eventually get off the vent, and he's obviously doing much better than expected. I'm very proud and very relieved for sure. I thank God for this improvement and I thank all of you for your many prayers and faith. Good Night and God Bless. Joye

Joye & Drew,
I suspect both you and Drew are the "talk of the floor" for your determination and faith. Reading your blog is an encouragement to me because of your obvious reliance on God. We continue to pray for each of you. Charlotte & Millard
WOW! MORE good news! It is so great to read that. And yes, what a huge improvement from 30 mins to 2 hours!!! Way to go Drew, keep it up!
You two hang in there, and know that you have tons of friends in your corner pullin' for ya!
Michele Sundwall
Glad to hear you are doing great..Hang in there. God bless you.
WAY TO GO LANGLEY!!! You are doing FANTASTIC!! Your great strides certainly do deserve to be the "talk of the floor" and you have all of us behind you cheering you on too!! I am so happy your progress is going so well. GOD BLESS YOU BOTH!!
Love,
Cherry Derrick
Awesome Job Langley, Keep up the great work, you're the most determined man I know, and this is living proof of that. If the staff there is amazed right now, wait till you show them really what your made of. When you told them at the beginning your goal was to walk out of there. Well this is going to occur, then they will really have something to talk about. Lots of prayers going out for you. Even my kids have joined in on this with me. Can't wait to hear the daily updates, God is working on this with you both, he knows your strength and determination will do the work, he is right there with you just giving the extra push you may need at times. Stay focused !!
love ya and miss you bunches

Joye & Drew,
I am speechless, and that doesn't happen very often ;}~ I know that you both must be excited with this progress and you know that all of us here are praying for you and cheering you on. You are getting stronger every day. Keep the strong determined spirit that God has blessed you both with and you will be up and around in no time at all. Take care and God bless you all.
Always,
Robbin
