He slept until the middle of the afternoon. Then they had him sprint for another 30 minutes. They started him out at 10 and lowered him to 5 (the lowest setting) for about 5 minutes and then finished the sprint back at 10. This was the first time he did any breathing at 5. He is getting a little better each day. Once he can sprint at the 5 setting for 30 minutes, they will start extending the length of time. All steps to getting off the respirator.
He was in and out of sleep for the rest of the afternoon. His temperature rose a bit but then dropped back down by the time we left.
A package arrived for Luke today. It is the poster from the Applebee's benefit pancake breakfast, signed by the folks there. It is hanging on the wall in his room opposite his bed. Here's what it looks like:
Thanks to the great folks at Applebee's and all those that supported Luke.
Today we were presented a check from a barbeque fundraiser held at the Border Patrol Academy in Artesia, New Mexico. Thanks to all of you, also, for your support of Luke.

It is so wonderful that so many ppl from literally everywhere kind of united to help support Luke and all of you...God bless all of them. I am really excited to hear that Luke did a short time at 5 that is wonderful and I am anxiously looking forward to reading the news of him getting off the respirator. I would also like to thank everyone who donated all those hrs to Luke...it is amazing the generosity that has been displayed during this ordeal. I will continue to pray for all of you and Luke and will keep you in my thoughts.
