April 22 Update

Although we all want things to progress quickly, it has become clearer that this is going to be a day by day process. We expect Keith to exceed expectations and that he will heal quicker than anticipated.

Keith continues to make progress. He is scheduled to get his trach and g-tube tomorrow. Both are key to his recovery. I got the following text from Jenny's close friend and roommate Andrea: "Just saw Keith with Jenny...man does she get him excited! His heart rate went from 58 to 81 AND he squeezed her hand when she asked him to". This is great news. Keith is able to follow commands which is a good indicator that things are going in the right direction! We are thankful for the good news we continue to receive.

Nino gave Jenny her laptop and air card today so she can check her emails and Keith's blog on a regular basis. Jenny liked the idea of the gift cards as there are typically up to 10 family member and friends at the hospital throughout the day and they are often going out to eat.

We pray that God continues to touch Keith and have faith that He is in control of this circumstance.
