Day 2, 1-19-07

We admitted him to the hospital yesterday afternoon at 3:45 and at 1:30 am he was moved to intensive care (at Baptist). He is in critical condition with pneumonia and strep. They have him on a ventilator only so he won't have to work so hard at breathing. He is sedated and we are not able to touch or talk to him because they don't want us stimulating him they want his body to concentrate on fighting this infection. He is getting the best of care and I know that he will pull through this. We are probably looking at 3 or 4 days on the ventilator.
