Carol gave me another update this morning. Early this morning at 1:30am they removed the respirator tube. He also woke up at 2:30am and was able to say a few words. He's relieved to be able to communicate without having to use a white board. Greg is still in a great deal of bit of pain yet and appears to be accumulating some fluid on his lungs. Hopefully this this tube out, they can now have him do some things to help in getting that problem reversed. Please do keep thinking and praying for Greg and his family during this time. Carol says to tell everyone thanks for all of the well wishes and she has asked for our continued prayers.
