Mondays update

Mike remains in the Shock Trauma ICU in critical guarded condition. The days are beginning to run all together. The roller coaster ride of emotions seems never ending. Yes, we are all very exhausted but will not leave Mike's side until he is better. The nurses told us today that this is normal. Yesterday was a good day, today uneventful. Mike continues to open his eyes sometimes looking right at you, but other times right through you. He has not mumbled today. Through the night last night he was grabbing at every tube he could so now they have what looks like white boxing gloves on his hands. He remains on mask oxygen at 50%. Tube feedings continue also. The good news is there have been no steps back but also no steps forward. Most importantly he seems to rest peacefully and rest is always something he's needed. Please keep your prayers coming. Good night to all.
