Open up your heart, Let's come together. Use a little Love and we will make it work together

Today found Deano more awake than yesterday and definately with lots more life in his eyes. Deano even managed a smile for Papa John. That was really cool. And though Dean is still not following commands (per say) you can just tell he is more alert.

So at this very moment we need prayers so that Deano can be weaned from the ventilator during his stay in the ICU at UCLA. It appears Vesspa's Team will give it another go tomorrow (meaning trace collar). If he can be weaned while in the ICU then they will just move him to another room on a different floor at UCLA.

If he cannot be weaned then we will have to start looking at two different facilities to move him to (Kindred Hospital or Barlow) where they will take over the weaning process.

In terms of the care he is currently receiving I believe in my heart that it would be so much better for Deano if he can be weaned here at UCLA rather than having to transfer him to a different hospital and then transfer him again to a rehab facility.

Come on Baby you really need to fight right now - not for a full recovery just yet; just to get your lungs healthy and off that ventilator. I cannot even imagine what this must be like for you and I just really need you to come through on this.

I don't ask for much. I only want your trust.
And you know it don't come easy.
And this love of mine keeps growing all the time.
And you know it don't come easy.
