That is really good news, Being a Dad is one of the things I am most thankful for.  When my daughter had to have her gall bladder removed it was very stressful for all of us. I realize that is nothing compared to what some of you have endured. still I am thankful..Not that I think I am special because I am not, I am thankful for all of my life, the good the bad and everywhere in between. I am thank everyone on this board too.

This afternoon Steven was moved from the ICU into what they are referring to as the "step down room" one floor down room 6612, which although resembles the ICU with the same equipment, has a lot more recovery rooms and the visitation restrictions is lighter. He has stood and walked around the bed and is eating more solid food and although he has a sligtly higher temperature, they say it is all managable. He has blown a repeated 500 on the air volume test, which is what they are looking for to start out with.
Nic got to go to the hospital with me and see him today. What a reunion! They are more like brothers than Cousins. I am so thankful! Mike

Thanks Bawb.
Today Steven was moved to the North Tower Pediatrics floor 8 room 8456, and the first actual Doctor that I have seen (while I was there) besides the surgeon that operated on him, referred to him as that "Miracle Boy", so I guess they are as impressed as I have been. He ate some Roast Beef and mashed potatoes and was feeling good, although very sore with reduced pain meds taken orally now, and no fever, another very good sign. I will get to visit with him tomorrow afternoon and them work will take me away to the Corvette show near Chicago for the rest of the week and weekend, but its only a 3 hour drive from him, so I will probably visit him again on Thursday evening if I can get away in time. If he hadn't shown such a remarkable recovery, I would not be working, believe me. Mike

that is really great news, just after my Son was born... 87' they put him into ICU  "baby style" and I can remembering how helpless I felt. I could not hold him or even touch him. It was horrible.. I was sure glad when we got to take him home.. what a relief.. Glad to hear the good news for you too.. Keep the Faith, we will continue to pray, of course.
