bob is still on spontaneous support at a very low setting.  They tried to take him off yesterday but he only made it about 10 min. due to a lot of anxiety.  He is still very critical and with all the sedation he is not responding to our voice.   We are still looking for an acute care hospital since that is probably his only chance to get off the ventilator.  We are going to Fort Thomas today to visit the Cardinal Hill acute care.  We have had a conference call with the acute care in Denver yesterday and it appears to be the most advance in getting him off.   We will have to take him in a medical air plane but were every he is transported he will have go by air.  We know he can not remain at Baptist East much longer.  

Keep him in your prayers
