After meeting with the doctors this morning Jordan is not ready yet for the tubing to come out. They are worried still about the small areas of infection still affecting his breathing. However they have dicussed the possibility of another procedure that will help him be more comfortable while still having the tubes. It would be a temporary tracheotomy this will allow for him to communicate verbally and be more comfortable but also allow a direct airway for the doctors to use to assist with his breathing if needed. He will not need this for very long just short term to get him to transition medically to rehab. The plan as of right now is to perform this procedure Friday morning, however if he progresses in the next two days it may not be needed.
Jordan is now aware of his injury again as he is more alert, so his emotions are running high which was to be expected.
We thank you all for the support he has received the past few weeks. He will get through this time in his life because of the support he has from all of you.
