At 230 this morning, the hospital called and decided to take the ventiltor out of Tyler's chest. They said that he seemed to be doing well-enough to give it a try.
After an hour or two, they called again, saying that the Doctor's weren't seeing enough deep breaths from Tyler, so to stay on the safe side, they put the ventilator back in. They said they'll try again when he's a little more awake, allowing more time for the sedation to wear off.
One step forward, two steps back, sometimes!
