48 Hour Update

As of 4:00pm today we reached 48 hours, a milestone according to our doctors. Each and every hour is a turning point and considered a step in the right direction. Donny's condition is stable. Although we didn't make great strides today we accept "stable" and consider this a blessing. We we're hoping to ween him off several of his meds today including the meds that have him fully sedated, but he is not yet strong enough to be taken off any medication. When attempting to take him out of sedation, he becomes quite agitated, so as of this past hour we are no longer allowed to talk or touch him, I am fine with this. His recovery is our main priority. Donny is a fighter and I am confident and positive he will recover. It is just going to be a long, slow process, but we have all the time in the world and although patience has never been one of my better virtues, the last 48 hours God has blessed me with calm, patience, strength and courage. Dr. Reinoso relayed that over his career, he has adopted the motto, "two steps forward and one step back and you are always ahead at the end of the day". I'll take one step any day. Please continue to pray and thank you all again for your kindness and support.
