He Speaks!

On Friday the doctors took John's trach tube out. This is a giant step forward. With the tube out, he is able to talk a little. And the doctors are thinking about removing his feeding tube this weekend. All this means that JC is moving in the right direction. With him out of the ICU, the nurses are allowing a few visitors. But hospital regulations only allow for two at a time. We want JC back in Seaside as quickly as possible, but he does need lots of rest still. Please keep this in mind.
On a lighter note, Val Perry stopped in to see JC on his way to the games tonight. John was talking so much that Val asked a doctor if they could put the tube back in to shut him up.

Cal is making a trip up to see JC on Saturday. He will be giving us his observations after he returns.

  1. Thanks so much for keeping us all informed on JC's recovery, Chappys Team. Im so glad to hear that he is still making very good progress in his recovery. I still have Karen, John and his family in my daily prayers for an even more speedy recovery in hopes that he will be returning back to Seaside very soon. Cant wait to hear you back on the waves soon picking on Rick and Cal!!
