You learn something being here for so long, take each day as they come, don’t expect to much, don’t get to excited about good events, just live in the moment your in every second of every day. Skylar's vent came out yesterday at 12:20, he did incredible with the whole thing. He has managed to remain calm and collected for the past 21 hours. His Co2 gas has been pretty good 46 to 52 (his norm). The biggest hurdle is going to be suctioning, they still have to get what’s in his lungs out. And that entails going threw his nose with a small catheter and sucking it out. As you can imagine he doesn’t care for this very much, but he is tolerating it. In some way I think he knows they are only trying to help. So the hardest part is over now it’s the long journey of keeping him off the vent. So please don’t stop praying! He still needs all those wonderful thoughts and prayers. He still has a mountain to climb before he can go home. Thanks Sky and Mom
