We wanted to post quickly for all of you who are helping in so many ways and wanting to know the progress of Austin. First we want to thank our neighbors, friends and Mom & Dad and all our family who have brought meals,watched the kids, and helped with the house, laundry and just been a comfort to us. We feel so blessed to have you in our lives especially during these times when we depend on you so much. Austin is improving every day and in the last two days has had some really good hours when he seems more like himself, even with all the steroids and treatments and tests he is required to have. We try to take lots of pictures during these times, now that he is no longer on the ICU we are free to take pics and will post them later on when things settle down a little. He is very sick, but is making progress toward his return home, where we can continue a lot of his care at home where he is more comfortable. We are uncertain what caused this event and are working with doctors and specialists to figure out why he is so sick. After he was intubated and life flighted to PCMC on Wednesday, he spent three days in the PICU and then came to the floor where he has undergone many tests and treatments while his lungs are recovering. We are hopeful that he will be able to come home in the next few days since he continues to progress. This means he is now stable but still needs 24 hour monitering which we will attempt at home. We will keep you updated and let you know how he is doing as well as when we will be able to bring him home. Thanks so much for your love and support.
