Tuesday - 10pm Update

He wasn't as chatty tonight, nurse believes he's tired from breathing on his own. They'll let the ventilator do its job this evening and start fluctuating the system support again tomorrow. This is normal practice for weaning him off.

Did not get to see the cardiologist today, but did learn that his ejection fraction is 55%. Healthy individuals normally fall in the 50%-75% range and heart attack survivors typically fall in the 40%-60% range. We've always known Phil has a big heart, now we know it's a pretty strong one too.

Rhonda and the kids are doing great - getting to see him awake was an awesome delight and a HUGE morale boost. Thank you so much for all your prayers and good wishes.

And Bruce, no pizza this time!
