Friday was another tough day

Let's start on a positive...one of their amazing friends was able to get new glasses created for Jeff in one day! For those of you that know Jeff, that was no easy feat - Lens Crafters told us they wouldn't even make glasses that strong - seriously, they said their company doesn't make them. You can imagine how it went when I said to the woman, "but aren't you a company that makes eyeglasses?" Thankfully, one of the angel's had a connection.

Giving Jeff back his sight is huge and when he was alert on Friday, it made it easier to communicate.

However, the frustration is growing with the ventilator. They did another bronchoscopy and the mucus is still an issue - mainly, because Jeff is unable to cough strong enough to move it out. He'll have some additional breathing trials this weekend, but the doctors feel that he is likely to have a tracheotomy on Monday if things don't improve.

Unfortunately, this extends the process and his time in ICU and delays progress and getting him to rehab. A very disappointing day at the hospital Friday.

We all know it takes time, but everyone is ready to move forward with the healing process, especially Jeff. Keep the thoughts and prayers strong and call in those favors for more!
