I am just getting back in from NM. Been trying to keep up with Cliff's progress thru my wife....Long way to go, but he seems to be improving. Hang in there Cliff.....

From tammy Seiler this morning.

He's doing okay.  He looks more comfortable.  Still has a little bit of a fever.  Still not moving to much.

 Still need prayers for Cliff.

Cliff is still in my prayers, thanks for the update.

From Tammy Seiler:

He is breathing on his own.  They took him off the ventilator for a while today but he is going back on overnight.  He will still be initiating all the breaths, the vent just gives him help with the oxygen.

He still is not very responsive.  He's not talking.  He's not moving his hands or arms.  He only looks at us sometimes.

We are talking to him, sometimes he seems to respond a little.  I'm trying.  My mom and my brother are arriving here today to help us through this.

Still need prayers..  Pam

Update on Cliff Seiler,  He is improving.  We had to put in a trach
early in the week because he had been on the ventilator down his throat for 3 weeks and after that it starts to do more harm than good.  He looks so much better now.  He has been off the ventilator for several hours each day for the past few days.  He is getting stronger each day and is moving his feet and his right hand when asked to do so.  They are moving him out of ICU into a longer term care hospital Monday or Tuesday.  They will be better equipped to handle getting him to a point where he can come home.
Thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers over the last month, it has definitely been a long month.  I would ask for your continued thoughts and prayers, he still has a long road to recovery.

That is great news for Cliff and his family!!  We are still praying for you all.

Very glad to see this update. Preying he continues to improve.

I am praying also.  Not sure what preying means above.....(JK).  But I am so sorry Cliff has had to go through what he has.

From Tammy Seiler
He's been off the vent during the day for several days now, last night was supposed to be the first night they did not put him on the vent at all.  Once he has been off the vent for 48 hours they consider him liberated and will remove it from the room.  He is moved to the new facility and they had him sitting up for 2 1/2 hours yesterday.  They are starting physical and occupational therapy, but yesterday he was being stubborn or he was tired because his sleeping schedule is all messed up.  He's sleeping during the day and awake until around 3am.

What deficits are you noticing?

It's still hard to tell because he is not moving much.  He also is not talking yet.  I know we have not seen him move his left arm or hand at all yet.

More prayers for Cliff..and Thanks..Pam    .☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི♥ྀ.

This is Tammy again.  Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers, they are definitely being answered.  He got moved to a smaller long term care hospital on Monday.  They have the resources to work more with him.  I keep telling him that he needs to cooperate and get stronger to get the trach out and to be able to come home.  Please keep praying for us.
