Saturday, May 28 Lyle received a lot of visitors and stimulation. Lyle responses showed that he recognized his visitors and wanted someone nearby. Lyle showed as much enthusiasm as possible when he was asked if he wanted a foot massage. The ventilator was turned to 0, meaning that Lyle was doing all the breathing on his own. The hope was to take out the ventilator tubes the next day if Lyle showed that he could breath on his own. The reality was that we needed to be in unity as a family as to how the medical team should proceed if Lyle didn’t respond well, whether they should make every effort to resuscitate him or let him go.
