Tuesday's follow up
It's 7:00 pm and we're still waiting for the extubation to take place. Apparently a patient must be off all sedation meds, breathing on their own & alert. Dad was ready this morning but then fell asleep. We found out that sometimes, patients that have been sedated for a long period of time become sleep deprived. Today is the first day, I saw him yawn. As a matter of fact, he yawned all day. The doctors have not ruled out the removal just yet. It still may take place this evening. We shall wait and see.

Joel has been a beloved friend of my dad's (Vincent Ferrer) since they were childhood friends. My dad lights up every time he talks about Joel. We all wish only the best for him. Our thoughts and prayers are with Joel and the family. Love, Sandi
