The nurses and staff are raving about Jeff's positive attitude. Each day he and the respiratory therapist go over goals for him to accomplish. He wants to know the goals so, "I can exceed them!"
Jeff is spending more time awake and engaged each day, and he is doing everything he can to get better and get out of that ICU. While doing his respiratory therapy exercises on Friday, he declared, "Bam! I got this." and, the nurse replied, "You're a rock star!"
While Jeff may still have ups and downs, his positive attitude is winning. He shows excitement over the wins - big or small. He said, "I thought being able to talk again was cool, and then they brought that brace in and tried to push me. That's the coolest thing to happen since I got here."
The number one goal is to get him off that ventilator, and each day he moves a little closer. They'll begin some new treatments over the next couple of days to start expanding and exercising Jeff's lungs. On Monday, they plan to put a smaller trach tube in.
