Ron was moved to a different ICU unit that specializes in pulmonary issues. It is still ICU, but noticeably less 'intense' than surgical ICU. He is mildly sedated and can answer yes no questions by nodding. It is now time to wait for his lungs to regain strength as he breathes for several days on the ventilator, most likely until Monday. He will get an assist from massive antibiotics and more sleep. Pray for a quiet time (to the extent possible in ICU) of healing and recovery.
I am with Ari and David, we are all doing fine after a great meal with Nancy, Jim and Alex Decorrevont in Oak Park. We are so blessed by friends. Thank you again to all of you who have provided such amazing support.

We're in the hospital right now (Mom, Dad and I)and Dave will come along later.
He's lucid, and can communicate by pointing to a card with the alphabet on it. It is hard going, though... took Mom and I a good five minutes to figure out "Itch." He really really really hates the tube, but its gotta stay in for today at least.
Thank you all so much for your prayers and help. We really appreciate it. There are lots of churches praying for him this morning, and he knows you guys are praying for him. :) Thank you.
Ari
