May 13th 1:22 pm

Here is the latest news on our situation. . . . Acey still has pneumonia and is still in ICU, the pneumonia is improving a little everyday, he is still on the ventilator but on the very lowest setting. He also lifted his left leg and left hand a little yesterday and today which is amazing!! Tomorrow Acey is going in to have a Tracheotomy. There are several reasons why this is going to take place, the number one reason is to protect his airway. Since his mussels in his throat are so weak we need to make sure that his air way is always open and has easy access if needed. Acey and I are very anxious to have this done, once it's done he will be able to talk again (in a few days), and he will be able to have the tube out of his mouth, plus we are hoping that it will help clear up his pneumonia faster. We are moving in the right direction, so things here are looking up.

    I am delighted to hear Acey will have his speech/ability to communicate thru speech restored with this tracheotomy procedure. Hoping and praying it goes well. Also, pleased to hear that his was able to move his left hand and leg, even if slightly. Progress is progress. Keep up the positive attitudes. :) Keep moving in the "right direction". Hoping and praying for complete recovery soon from the pneumonia. :) We continue to keep you both and the entire family in our thoughts and prayers. Much love, The Dotson Family
