Monday- May 18th: Update from Darren

Jenny was unable to make it to the hospital yesterday (Sunday) because she wasn’t feeling well so I wanted to give you a quick update on Keith. On Saturday night/Sunday morning he pulled his trach out (again). The Doctor decided to leave it out and have him monitored closely to see how his breathing and oxygen level would respond. Of course, being the fighter that Keith is, he passed the test and didn’t need the trach anymore.

Yesterday (Sunday), Keith had a really good day. When I walked in the room he smiled and said “What’s up brother!” My Mom, Jason, Devin (Jason wife) & Maddy were there spending time with him as well & he was alert and talking a lot. Later in the day, the Doctor visited him and asked how he was doing and Keith responded with “Good” and a high five. The doctor asked who was there visiting him and Keith said “My Mom, my Daughter…” The doctor told us that he feels Keith is ready to go to rehab and was starting to get the ball rolling on a transfer. Great News!
