Friday late night update

Dad got his new tracheotomy in mid day. Physical therapy came in and was really impressed with him. all the swelling had gone down in his hands and feet because mom and emily had been working on him rubbing them and getting the blood flowing, which seamed to help. Mom said he had been moving his hands and feet a lot at at some points he looked like a little drummer boy. They have been slowly taking him off the ventilator because he is doing a lot of breathing on his own. Mom says they are slowly going to take him off sedation as well. Mom says he is doing good and that they took another tube out of his chest.  He has now gotten over 100 emails which mom said he was shocked to see so many.
