Hi all,

Will's condition hasn't changed which is good. Every day they're performing several tests and they now know that his left heart chamber isn't working. His right heart chamber is working though it has fluids around it which puts pressure on the heart. They've inserted a drain to be able to remove the fluid which will be done today by a surgeon. Now and then they decrease the sedation to the point that he's awake enough to be able to perform simple tasks. For example, they ask him to wiggle his toes, squeeze in the doctors hand, open his eyes, stick out his tongue, etc. When asked if he has pain he's able to answer yes or no by shaking his head. Will is performing these tasks very well which is very positive. From Marianne, the boys and all of us, thank you all for your kind words and please keep sending Will positive brain power.
