So they took the packing out of Bill's nose last night. They have him propped up to a sitting position. He's off almost all of his blood pressure medicine. We still need all of your prayers and good energy vibes!Bill is off of all his sedation medicine, and we are trying to get him to wake up! Any ideas?
They did have to put him back on one blood pressure medicine but that is OK. It is expected to have to put him back on some of those types of things since it hasn't been a week yet.
We are just about to go see him and see if we can get him to wake up! We'll keep you guys posted! Thank you everyone for all your support.

Just came back from pestering Bill, We are trying to wake him up. Joy did get some eye action, the eyes opened just a tiny bit. His numbers still look good. He had kind of a boring day, he stayed the same. But that's OK, its better to have a day that's the same than a day that goes backwards. OK, good night and we will give you an update in the morning.
We started a journal of Bill's progress a few days after he was admitted to the hospital.
Bill came into the ICU on Thursday night around midnight and by 1 am he was in complete organ failure. I was in shock. The girls and I were sitting in a dingy fluorescent lit room waiting to hear if their dad was dead or alive.
There was two oddly dressed women sitting in the waiting area and took it upon themselves to offer comfort to us, by giving us blankets and pillows and hugs and prayers. We later learned that they were Hutterite people.
Friday morning the doctors were telling me to get some family here to be with us. Around mid morning the doctor came to me and told me that I had to make a decision. They wanted to try an experimental drug that could kill him or save him but that without the drug he was sure to die. I said to give it to him. We would know in 92 hours if it was going to work.

One of the worst days of my life. Period.
