Another setback today.  Dad was struggling to breathe and had to be intubated again.  The Dr. said he just wasn't strong enough yet.  They are going to leave him on the ventilator today and peform a tracheotomy tomorrow.  This option will be more comfortable for him and allow his vocal chords to heal. It will also allow him to get up and moving when he is ready. 

It is very disappointing that he is not yet ready to breathe completely on his own, and these setbacks are very hard on my mom.  But we continue to have faith that he will get better when his body is ready.

  2. Dear Kendall family;
    We were so sorry to hear of your dad's terrible accident. Your dad has been such a special part of our lives and the lives of our family for so many years as has the entire Kendall family. We are saddened that such a horrible thing could happen to such a good man but we know Heavenly Father is watching over him. We love your dad and mom and will continue to pray for them as well as the rest of you. With our love, Gary & Kathy Rosenkrantz & family.
