My partner continues to battle his staph infection (and now pneumonia), and has been quarantined in the Barnes ICU for protection. He's spent so much time there, that he's had a PEG placed (which was not what he wanted, ultimately), and is still heavily sedated. They will try removing the ventilator tube again today to see if he has any opening for breath. He has now been sedated without waking for 15 days. Hope we're making the right decisions.......

Thanks again for the much needed well-wishes and prayers!
