End of Day, Monday

We continue to make progress. Noah got the shivers this afternoon (something we were told might happen) and he has coughed about half-a-dozen times now. The doctor decided against a tracheotemy (sp?) as he hopes Noah will be able to breathe on his own. Noah remains on no sedatives, and we expect more movement tomorrow. That said, Noah's blood test this morning still showed very high levels of pentobarbitol in his system, so the process of waking up will continue to be very slow and gradual. We pray for clarity and the opportunity to tell Noah how much we love him-- no matter what the next couple of days brings. C'mon Noah - c'mon!!!!
