Mike has a better week this week. Yes, he was battling pneumonia again, but chest x-rays taken late in the week showed that his lungs were greatly improved. He also contracted a staph infection, but it is apparently one that is common for hospital patients to get. They are treating him for the infection.
In Wednesday, he had a very good physical therapy day. They put him on the tilt table and he did some reaching out when they were working with his arms.
He still remains in a coma, but it was a good week.
