Tommy's doctors have decided the best way to progress towards reestablishing Tommy's independent breathing is through a tracheotomy. They will perform the tracheotomy procedure tomorrow (Thursday). Because the trach tube is shorter and larger than the current breathing tube it will allow for easier initiation of breaths. Tommy continues to give his all in physical therapy. Please pray for a successful tracheotomy surgery tomorrow. Also, continue to pray for successful breathing, reduction of swelling, and that God will provide physical strength for Tommy. And, praise God for His provision, healing and the wonderful plans he is establishing for Tommy. -- "I know that you can do all things; no plan of yours can be thwarted." Job 42:1
