Another day, another piece of spaghetti...

PJ had a great day today. His vitals were good all day. Oxygen level was at a solid 40% all day long and he did really well with his new trach. We definitely need more days like we had today. His fever was down and they cut back his food supply today, which also means they cut down his insulin needs. I was able to see his left hand better today, although it looks good, that is definitely one of the areas that was hurt quite a bit. He is just doing so great. At this point, we need for him to continue like this for a while and then they will begin to reverse the respirator to make it more of PJ breathing. That is when they will start to bring him out of the coma and send him on the road to therapy.

PJ is doing so good that I keep trying to talk his nurse into letting me shave him so that I can shave designs in him. Big Guy and I think we should do 1 of 2 things: 1.) Shave a Hitler mustache on him (my personal favorite), or 2.) Big ugly shovel sideburns and a soul patch under the chin. In fact, post your comments to tell us what you would want us to shave on him, I am interested in hearing what everyone elses idea for shaving him like.

Well that is all for now, a great day for PJ and we need many more. Hug your loved ones and tell them you love them.

I vote for the sideburns. If you get to do it you need to make sure to take a picture because I need that on my cell phone when he calls me!

Chris and Big Guy-

I think we should NOT shave him and make him look like Grizzly Adams.... He'd love it.

Just put a bandana on his head, think about it... this is really the only time that we can play dress up with him :)

Having seen PJ in a beard before, I think that huge muttonchops with a soul patch would be awesome. He'd hate that! You also can go for the pimp beard which is tapered side burns that never end and run along the jaw line...
