I went with Nikki yesterday afternoon to go and be with Michael. He is stable at this time. His insides were put back in place for now.
The doctors are saying that they will no longer try to wake Michael; he will stay down in the sedated state until his insides are healed. They do not want him moving. They will be removing the ventilator tubes and feeding tubes from his mouth tomorrow and replace it via a tracheotomy. This will be far more comfortable for Michael with the tracheotomy than in his mouth. This also will cut down on the bacteria in his mouth that runs down these tubes. So, infections will be lessoned.
I was sad to hear that the healing process of his insides will take months. Michael will remain in the ICU for a very long time. We have no set date at this time when they will wake him and allow us to welcome him back to the world.
Maybe by Thanksgiving we will be able to look into his eyes and speak to him and hope for a response in return.
Some how, some way we need to help Wyatt in being able to know his Daddy is with us and he is just sick. Wyatt has not seen his Daddy since the accident, nor will they let him in the ICU to see his Daddy. This breaks my heart.
I say look out ICU, I am coming through with my Grandson and they had all better turn their backs when I come through the door...chuckles.
Beverly, I so very much appreciate all you have done and are doing to keep the prayer chain alive for Michael and my family.

I did not see this until now (Thursday 6am). I will pray for the Lord to intervene. Please keep us posted.
