Latest update on Cole. He's breathing completely on his own. He's off the ventilator and no longer intubated. They expect to remove his catheter today and have orders to remove the bolt. He's using a CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) for breathing therapy and has a feeding tube which may be removed later today. Tom just told me that he's no longer considered in a coma state but he is sedated for pain. He continues to move around, open his eyes and try to tear off anything non-human attached to his body. He even had a thumb war with Mauri and won. Cole is definitely the man.
WOOHOO~you go Cole!!! Such wonderful news~God has big plans for you my friend~keep getting strong~Much love to you & your family~God Bless~

We are so happy to hear to hear Cole is continuing to get better. We will continue to pray for a fast and complete recovery for Cole, and strength for Tom and Rhonda as they go through this journey.
ReplyDeleteCole, our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. We ask Him that you will continue to improve and that He will bless you and your family with His strength. We met you in Washington when you came here for a race. Mason and Brae are our grandsons. You may not remember us, but we remember you. We were so impressed by your character and the fact that you knew everyone. Get well very soon.
