Levi - May 27

Wow, it's been almost a month since I've last blogged about Levi's progress. He is still in the ICU, but has continued to improve. There are less machines hooked up to him and tubes coming out of him. He did have a G-tube inserted for feeding (versus the one that was used up until that point down his nose). His 2 continuous concerns are breathing (he's still on a respirator and at too high a percentage to move into another care facility) and then the healing of his ulcers (one may take up to a year to heal, and that's a positive estimate). He is also scheduled for a CAT scan today because of some bleeding. Levi has been in the hospital for over 2 months now and he does become impatient with family and the staff at times, but if you know Levi, that's not really too surprising. On the other hand, it's also understandable, given that he has had so many ups and downs, and he would probably like to high tail it out of there, given the chance. Thank you again for your thoughts and prayers - please know that they worked in mighty ways through Levi and our family!
