An Update and “The Story”

Wee Man is doing well today. By the time morning rounds were over, he was off the ventilator and had the breathing tube removed. He’s been in and out of consciousness, but we’ve been able to talk to him and have him talk to us. To hear that sweet little voice again was a huge blessing. He’s in a bit of pain, mostly discomfort from the drain tube in his chest, but that’s why God invented morphine. Yay!

Oh, and he had a tooth come out! So Malawi’s tooth fairy has got some long-distance flying to do tonite.

Right now he’s sleeping with my Bose noise-blocking earphones on, listening to Zoey Deschanel’s “She & Him” album. Sooo-weet!

Tomorrow on NPR, online and on Satellite radio nationwide, you can hear me (Cathleen) on “The Story” with Dick Gordon, telling Vasco’s story.

We’re about to move into a new room in the ICU so we’ll check in later. But the Wee Man is very well.

Thank you for your continued prayer, love and spirit.
