Thanks be to God!

Michael is now off the ventilator completely and this morning, he was completely conscious, sitting up in bed and talking. He recognized his mother, too. He still has a lot of rehab ahead of him, so they moved him to a rehabilitation hospital today. He is expected to make a very good recovery -- hard to tell yet whether a full recovery will ever be possible, but this is a GREAT start.

Thank you so much for praying for him.
