Black Friday? Not for us!

They have changed John’s ventilator to a smaller one and have reduced the pressure to zero and he currently has NO O2 assist. His blood oxygen level is 97%. All this is good news to the point that the doctors are talking about moving him out of the ICU. He still has a chest tube in and can’t talk, but is aware of his surroundings.
This is the best news that we've had in over four weeks.

We at Team Chappy know that many of you would like to go visit him, but he is still in the ICU. We will let everyone know just as soon as the doctors and Karen say that John is strong enough to receive visitors. We at Team Chappy also want to go visit, but we have to wait along with you. So, please hang in there with us.
