I'm sorry I didn't get the time today to post but thought I should give a quick update before I go to sleep.
I woke up this morning feeling very optimistic about some things I found in my research of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder more specifically in what I found out about Catatonic State. I felt like the latter fit Jerry's symptoms to a T and I was anxious to talk with the neuro specialist about it this morning. After speaking with the neuro doc she dismissed PTSD and Catatonia immediately, she said he has brain damage and left me feeling very discouraged and distraught for most the day. I will spend some time going into more detail tomorrow, by the days end today I felt very optimistic again, I have a new mission ....to get Jerry out of this hospital, they are not equipped to help him recover from his brain injury.
Jerry has been off the ventilator for 41 hours, putting the tracheotomy in was the best decision that could have been made, I wish they would have done it sooner. We now know that Jerry will NOT be ventilator dependent for life, and unless there is a setback will not have to go back on the vent again. I will give a more detailed better update tomorrow when I'm not so tired.

I have been following Jerry's blog since day 1. Jerry WILL come out out of this, he is strong! You are stronger then before, Get Jerry home! We are all there for you.
Still praying! And, Mama Bear, remember to take care of YOU too.
Forget and forgive the "brain dead doctors" at DSCH.
They are all considered "practioners".
God is the only one who really knows what is going on in Jer's mind.
We all love you and pray that Jer will wake up and talk to his loving family.
Love from his extended family
and FDIL's FMIL,
