One small step for PJ, one giant leap for PJ kind...

PJ has done good today, hopefully that will continue. Just returned from the hospital and PJ is doing well and on his back when I was there to visit him. He is oxygenating very well today. They did bronch him today, and we were told that they found a section of his lung with "crap" caked to the walls of his lungs. They were able to get most of that out, and this could be why he was having such a hard time when they had him on his back. His fever is slight, and he is still fighting the nasty little bug that he has caught. It must be pretty bad, because now they are making us wear gloves when we touch him. Supposedly they have not seen this bug in the hospital for over a year. They will continue him on the bed until it is no longer working, they will not even give us a date now because we just keep getting disappointed. I got to see his face good today and his left arm, the burns are healing great. He is growing hair on his arms, and they are now saying that he may not need any skin grafts at all because of how well he is healing.

So a small step for PJ, hopefully a giant leap for PJ land. As always keep the thoughts and prayers coming.

What a clever title! PJ will be so proud is big brother came up with that... actually, I think he will say.. "What is THAT all about?!?"

Thanks for all the wonderful updates. Tell Peej we love him and I will see him in about a week.

Ok- time to go get warm. (You are SO lucky for not being here... the SNOW PLOW got stuck on my street tonight...)
