"The last week at OSU has gone very well. Danny was off the vent for several days but had to be placed back on because they were worried about him getting pneumonia again. His coughing has improved althought it is still very painful for him to do it. Tonight they put the trach collar on again and he is breathing on his own. As long as they can keep his lungs clear he will be able to stay off the vent. Physical Therapy has been going well. He sat in a chair for the first time in over 5 weeks on sunday. Yesterday they had him sit on the edge of the bed, with help, and he got in a good 7 minutes of sitting up on his own. Danny is begining to realize the full extent of his injuries but although at times he has seems very distant he still manages to smile and laugh."
