Setback :(

They tried to remove the ventilator this morning but had to put it back in. The epidural has been stopped to help his breathing. Otherwise he is doing ok according to the drs. He can't communicate much at all and mostly sleeps due to strong medications. Mom and Cindy and I are making sure someone is always with him. The staff here at Vanderbilt is great. ( Mindy is working on this floor and she is here today) Drs have been by multiple times. He is getting his Parkinson's meds through the j tube so at least that helps too. Tomorrow he will begin a small bit of nutrition in his j tube. I really really hope Dad will not remember this part. It has been very hard.
