Eric is still in the hospital. Pneumonia is all gone, but still has a lot of secretions, so they haven't pulled the breathing tube out for suction purposes. He's really *_*_*_*_*_*ed 'cuz they said it was going to be removed 2 days ago, plus he can't talk. May do a trachaeostomy on Monday to allow him to talk, but still have suction access.Should be OK, but long term, who knows. Depends on whether the secretions stop.
Thanks again for all your kind thoughts.
