His breathing problem seems to be under control. We are having a quiet day. Jen brought the toys and he seems to like them. we have a ball in his right hand and we are trying to get him to squeeze it. He plays with the links and the butterfly with his left hand. He quit playing for a little while then he reached his hand down and picked up the toys again to play. I'm not sure if he was just randomly looking for something to play with as he does a lot, or if he remembered where he left them. Hard to know right now.

Jen came to visit and brought Ali, Hillary, and Morgan. Morgan is staying overnight and we will go home around 5 p.m. tomorrow. I'll come back Sunday so I can be here when his dr. returns Monday a.m.

I'm guessing his dr. will decide whether or not to do surgery on his back by Monday night. If he decides that the fragments of the burst fracture are not posing a threat and are already in the healing process, then probably no surgery. They will put him in his shell and transport him up to IMED. If he does the surgery then Levi will need a few more days to recuperate then they will transport him.
So I'm thinking that either way we will leave here by Monday the 27th. That will make it easier for me to get Emily up to the Moran Eye Institute for her appt. on the 29th.

Levi is a little restless right now so I'm going to tell him about the recent posts, especially that joke (if the coast is clear!) and Tyler's reminiscing. :)

Thanks to all
