This morning Pete was in good spirits and seemed a bit more alert.
The physio therapists are starting with the exercise routine already.....which is a very important step in the healing process. It's a bit difficult yet because of the fluid retention, plus Pete was able to sit up at the side of the bed for a bit which helps in getting things moving in his chest.
Pete remains on the ventilator because he simply doesn't have the strength to breathe deep enough on his own yet. This could take some time yet and is to be expected.
All in all, so much to be thankful for. We are very grateful to you all for keeping Pete and our family close in your thoughts and prayers.
Have a blessed day
