Email update from Joel… 🙂

Another full day with lane at the ICU. We met with all of the doctors and they are still concerned about him however he remains stable. Some highlights from the day:Lane got a shave and sponge bath from two beautiful Thai nurses he said that he didn’t feel a thing but enjoyed it regardlessLane ate solid food for the first time and enjoyed itLane wiggled a toe at the command of the doctor!!!!Lane is now required to breathe into a breath volume thing a majig every hour to help maintain his strength and ward off pneumonia. He maxes out every time.

His spirits are typically low in the morning due to sleepless nights but get better as the day progresses. I have been sharing everyone’s warm wishes which makes him smile so keep the comingLooks like a tentative discharge date for the first of May.

That’s it for today.

Spoke with joel twice. Judy is there with joel and they visited lane. He wanted me to share this.

Spent the day with Natalie at the hospital and out mother made it late tonight and visited with him. As of now Lane has yet to make any improvement in his condition. We are back to the hospital in a few hours to be with him again. Should know more info by the end of the day as the hospital will be fully staffed. His spirits are fair. He appreciates the emails and texts that I share with him from friends and family. Still no idea on when he will return as he is not stable to travel. Please keep my little brother in your thoughts and prayers
