from abigail

hi everyone,
a great big step!!
very GOOD news as of 5pm saturday jan 29th. they removed that damn uncomfortable/painful air ventilator and he is breathing on his own with help of an air mask!
Judd Emerick was here & Steve Meukow  (a good friend of josh, dad and kris) & Kris was here when i arrived. it was really great to see them all.
they will feed him through a tube in an hour. no food by mouth. he desperately wants water, but can't give it to him yet, only the small sponges with just a tad of water. i am trying to find a sponge that is neutral flavored, not lemon.  choking on water is still a concern at this point.
 he can mouth words but his voice is faint and horse, but its much better than the dang tube. we have been listening and enjoying one of his previously selected radio stations, 91.5, classical 24/ 7 /365. He loves music so much.
Debby is here now.
ok, i'll update any new news tonight.
