Noon, Wed. Off the Respirator

Finally, they took the respirator off Ken. He is doing great. His blood pressure and heart rate look good. His oxygen level is good. I am so happy. Thank the Lord. He already told me he loves me. I've been waiting days to hear that. He can't talk very well. His throat will be sore for some time. He will start with ice chips in an hour and if he tolerates that, he gets a Popsicle. That made him smile. The tube came out quick once they started. Ken said it was fast.
Just wanted you to know. I'm going back to Ken's bedside now. Thanks for your prayers. Bev
