Alan Update: 4/17/17

Alan is still on ventilator because he is not breathing on his own at this time. His pneumonia is being treated as aggressively as possible, but he isn't making a lot of progress.  So his condition is much like it was when I last wrote. When the pneumonia gets better, they will start weaning him off the ventilator.  I don't know when that will happen. Thankfully, Alan's sisters Susie and Charlotte are here, so we can take eight hour shifts and cover being there 24/7.  They are wonderful with him.  I have recovered from my sinus infection, so I've been taking my shift at the hospital for the last two days.  He opens his eyes when we talk to him, but he is very sedated.
