Jimmy has pneumonia! Yucky! He feels pretty sick, but it still in such good spirits! It is not surprising that he has pneumonia though, since he was on a ventilator for so long, his cough is still pretty weak, and he has tubes leading straight down into his lungs. He's on broad spectrum IV antibiotics and hopefully he'll
start feeling better soon!

His respiratory therapist put a speaking valve on his trach tube. This morning, she woke me up and said
"Jimmy has something to tell you". Usually they wake me up so that I can help them lip-read what Jimmy is saying. I sat up in bed fully prepared to lip-read, but he actually said "I love you" with his voice! It was
pretty much the best thing ever! ♥
