Will continues to do well... his ventilator settings have gone down considerably, and his doctors plan on doing "sprints" tomorrow if he continues to do well. Sprints are where the doctors will turn off the ventilator for one hour intervals over a day to see how the patient will do before taking the ventilator tube out.
Will continues to have problems with acid reflux, so they have placed a different type of feeding tube in his nose... it goes past the stomach and straight into the small intestine. He is also on two medications now, one of which is Zantac.
Will had a head ultrasound Monday, and his bleeding and swelling has not gotten worse. So, they have decided to do the ultrasounds only once a week now. Looking good!
I will let you know how things progress!

Dear Stephanie,
Please know that all of us surround you in spirit....every hour of every day; as you sit at Will's bedside - or wait in the waiting room - while a procedure is done for Will or his roommate; or make the trip back to the Ronald McDonald house for the evening, alone.
Your strength is so apparent; and we are all proud of you, Josh and Will!
How's that hair doing these days?
Please don't keep him looking like a used car salesman!! Ha ha..
I believe it would be safe to say there are a few members and friends of the Cox Wertz side of family that would do anything to have Will's hair! Send some pictures when you can!
Love you,
Mom
