You can't make this stuff up....

Every time I think the blog might be getting boring Cory sure likes to make the climax of the story get just a little bit sweeter. The last 48 hrs. have not been an exception.

Well besides the fact that Cory and I are soooo excited that Kris Allen won American Idol. whoot whoot We have had a little bit of our own excitement to celebrate.

Yesterday morning when I went to the facility Cory had acutally had a really good night but his trech site every bloody since we arrived on Tuesday has been bleeding pretty bad ever since. Our nurses and respetory therpists really tried hard all day to try to get the blood to clot and stop the bleeding but after 13hrs of trying to stop it we decided to go ahead and take Cory to Mercy Gilbert to have a pulmanary dr. look at it.

So I got to have my first ride in an ambulance and went with Cory to the hospital. We arrived in the ER and the dr. looked at it cleaned it up and decided that it was bleeding inside further than he wanted to mess with so he recomended we go back to Mayo and have the dr. that performed the trech. fix it.

By this point it was about 3 am and I was fading fast because the day was so emotional and long. So my dad who had followed us to the hospital went with Cory to Mayo and I went home.

So my dad said that Cory did pretty well on the ride per a good dose of morphine. At mayo the dr. who performed the trech surgery decided that he needed to cautarize both sides of his thyroid. My dad was lucky enough to be there for the whole thing and he sad "it didnt smell like baccon it was more like burning hair, but it was really cool to watch" haha he is a crack up. Anyways the Dr. also felt like Cory was breathing pretty well on his own so the decided to try taking him off the vent for a while and guess what.......

HE HASNT BEEN BACK ON IT SINCE!!!!!

WE are sooooo excited....so Cory is now back at his rehab facility and when his plug is in his trech he is able to talk up a storm (but it does make him pretty tired).

Wow!!! what crazieness we have been through...I really did think we were going to loose him again last night but GOD in REAL and he DOES ANSWER PRAYERS!!!!

O and I am home for a bit right now but I just found out our facility we are in has been under rentovation so its a little bit in shambles right now but they are moving us into a newly rentovated room right now and he has a GREAT view of the court yard...another tender mercy.

My little brother who is there now just texted and said that he was doing "very impressive" things in PT even being as tired as he is and he is wiped out now but that tomorrow they are going to try and see if he can eat...

SOLID FOOD!!!!

I am not going to lie all of this good news is getting a little overwhelming for me...but I am sooo grateful for everything.
