Today around 11 pm DJ was extubated! He is breathing on his own. Thank the Lord!!! Two IV lines were taken out, many meds stopped. Everyone is pleased with his progress. None more than his family. I am so elated at this moment (yes dead tired but overjoyed beyond belief). I am grateful for the prayers. Sorry I haven’t called some of you back, its been crazy and I know you understand.

One of the things that I do when I am forced into hospital time is read and reflect. Yeah, yeah, I read and reflect outside the hospital too but hospital RR is different from regular world RR. Its a different world. While everyone is going about their business in the real world, you are living in a bubble, hardly sleepy, totally not eating right and praying that Jehovah Rapha will show up. Soooo, with that said, reading and reflecting take on a different face when in this world. I started reading a book called Second Guessing God by Brian Jones and he starts out chapter 1 with:

There are …”Those who believe they believe in God, but without passion in the heart, without anguish of mind, without uncertainty, without doubt, and even at times without despair, believe only in the idea of God, and not in God himself.” (Miguel de Unamuno)
