Jimmy is still in the ICU. He remains on the ventilator at this time. He is running a fever this morning, they are culturing all fluids to make sure there are no bacteria growing. He does open his eyes and answer yes and no questions as well as follow commands. He squeezed the crap out of my hand when I asked him to last night.
The mood is somber. Or at least mine is. Jake has been absolutely amazing. Yesterday he told me and Jimmy's mom to put our tears in a suitcase and save them for another day. He is worried, but he uses humor to deal with the stress. I am so proud of him. My parents are here at the hospital right now. Jimmy's parents and Jake are getting around at the hotel and getting ready to head this direction.
I feel emotionally weak and I am finding it difficult to talk without bursting into tears. I don't enjoy being emotionally vulnerable. Oh what I wouldn't give to feel comfortably numb. Isn't that part of a song? Anyway...
I am not sure how often I will be updating from here on out. I am sure that if there are any changes I will be sure to post them . I will be updating everyone at least once or twice a day; that is my goal anyway. Thank you all again for the well wishes and prayers.
