We are having a GREAT DAY!!!! They have removed the ventilator tubes and Jon is breathing on his own. Although he is not suppose to be talking too much, he is so over joyed to be able to he hasn't really shut up. I cannot tell you how good it is to hear his voice. They will be removing his chest tubes tomorrow and if all goes well he'll be moved out of the Trauma ICU and into a regular room by Sunday or Monday. He will eventually be relocated to the rehab center. We know it will be a long haul but the doctors are saying he is doing remarkably well. All our Love Jon and Lee
