The vent will be taken out as well by Tuesday (Lord willing) and we'll be home bound by this coming weekend. Thank you Jesus for healing Brock. Brock is smiling more and more everyday. He likes to show his teeth and stick his tongue out.
09/13/05 Tues.- From 9AM-3PM Brock was off the ventilator, on his own. He did great! His heart beat did go up, but slowing settled to normal. Way to go little man!
