Jason got moved to rehab yesterday afternoon.	13.04.08
He is very anxious and a little confused. Got his first shower this morning which made him VERY happy and as of today, he looks exactly like he did before the accident. Can't coax him to eat - not chocolate, not Applebee's, not prime rib....

Unbelievable !!!	09.04.08
The Trach was down-sized and capped today - Jason is talking and making jokes, asking 100 questions and eating real food. He is amazing !!! He asked about almost all of you out there by name, remembers everything and everybody. Still...
'We graduated !!!	08.04.08
One day later than I thought - but it happened earlier than the medical team expected. Jason was moved from ICU Trauma to 'Step Down' today. No more ventilator - only a little oxygen. The Trach will be capped soon and removed as soon as they...
Jason was off the ventilator all day and probably will be all night...	08.04.08

Jason's status remains same as yesterday.	04.04.08
He did motion today, asking if he can still drive and I assured him that he would be all well and whole again. After he kept asking about all the hoses, etc., I offered him a mirror. He very quickly agreed, looked at himself and the Trach for...
Another good day ...  Go on Jason!	02.04.08

Another Special Sunday	31.03.08

Jason is steadily making 'baby steps' toward improvement	27.03.08
This morning, he was stable enough for a 30 minute, risk free surgery of inserting the ventilator tube into the bottom of his neck. I think he will be much more comfortable without having the hose in his mouth and down his throat and it will...
Health update	26.03.08
