Great News-Keep it coming!!! You would think as many times as I check this site, Josh is my best friend-heck, I don't even know him. But, things like this really tug at my heart, I'm so happy that things are looking better. God willing, Josh will be home for Christmas.

It sure sound like they will be bringing him out of the induced coma so that is some really great news. I would really love to see his face when Chantel tells him how good the Vikes have done so far this year grin

To all of Josh's virtual friends and fellow fisherman/women:

Shack/Josh's family would like to give a specail THANK YOU to everyone on here for all of the wondeful words of encouragement and prayers. I know we have posted it on his CaringBridg website several times but words cannot express how in awe we are with all of the support you have shown Shack/Josh during this sudden H1N1 nightmare.

Although many of you have never met, or even spoken with, Josh personally you still stepped up with prayers and kindness for him, which means so much to his family.

After a very long 33 day battle with the H1N1 virus, Shack has finally turned the corner and is now starting down the long road to recovery! He is slowly being weened off both the paralytic drug and sedative and is slowly coming up from the coma. He is able to move his arms, head, legs & opening his eyes briefly. He's now on a regular vent but will slowly be weened of this in time also. And although the Doctors are predicting a long road back to recovery...we'll gladly take it!

Again thank you to everyone, for lack of words...WOW! We truly believe all of the prayers and well wish's sent Josh's way made the difference. We have been reading Shack your post's from time to time but we can't wait to hand him his laptop and have him read them all for himself and eventually log on & reply!!!!

Happy Holidays to every single one of you & may God Bless you all!

FISH ON!

Shacks Family-

Josh,

Time to start taking those small steps to recovery. It will take a while but with the support group at home and here it will come. Take some time, get back on your feet and we will see you back here in no time.

Glad things are heading north again, keep it up ice fishing is almost here! I am sure a few of us wouldn't mind getting together and drilling a few holes if the endurance isn't quite there yet.

I pulled this from the caring bridge site.

BIG, BIG, BIG NEWS!

A little after 12PM today Josh's breathing tube was removed. It is now 4PM and he is doing great - his sat is in the upper 90's and they haven't even done blood gases because he is doing so well. He is on supportive oxygen via a mask and is talking (in a very deep husky voice) to us frequently.​ He is very aware of everything that is and has been going on here, it is almost hard to keep up with him! In fact he is very concerned about his noisy ICU neighbor! He didn't have physical therapy today because of all that was going on but he did alot of exercises in his bed to continue getting stronger. Tomorrow he will be evaluated by speech therapy and then will probably start to be able to drink & eat. At this point we do not know what the next step will be (rehab) but he is progressing so quickly that, yes, it is possible that Josh will be home with his family by Christmas if all goes well. This has literally been a week full of miracles! It is so nice to see Josh breathing on his own and talking again. He was told today that he did set the record at the U of M for being on the Oscillator longest and that he is the quickest recovery so far. That's our Josh! We were told before the breathing tube was removed that there still could be a slight chance that Josh won't be able to maintain sufficient oxygen during therapy or sleep and that he may still need a trach but so far everything is looking good and we are keeping our fingers crossed. Josh is a little tired out and has been busy clearing the junk out of his lungs - he is doing his own suctioning and his hand coordinatio​n has improved today. He is also doing alot of hand shaking with the staff (reminds me of his Grandpa) and I have seen him smile many times this afternoon...​and I haven't quit smiling.

      Might not have to wear ear plugs when I mow!      That’s a spendy one.  It wasn’t hard to find one of those for $6k.  Comparatively and Ariens of the same size is $4,200.  A home owner grade JD for $3,900.  You could get into a commercial grade Z700 for maybe $8k.   I think the work I did today with mine would’ve killed that one there.

      On the south end...   This year's MN Fishing Opener weekend was not only great weather wise, the walleyes and saugers were caught in good numbers.  A main fish gut hauler working with a number of resorts commented it was one of the most productive opening weekends he has seen based on the amount of fish guts collected after the weekend. The goto presentation was a jig and frozen emerald shiner.  Emerald shiners are a staple in LOW and walleyes love them.  Other minnows worked also, but emerald shiners are a favorite of anglers for good reason.   Four Mile Bay held good walleyes in 12 - 18'.  Not a surprise as the walleye bite on the river during the spring season was good and as of late, sturgeon anglers have been reporting catching walleyes on sturgeon rigs.   The Lighthouse Gap area, Morris Point Gap and just in front of Pine Island held nice fish in 12 - 15'.  Across the south shore, 18 - 22' was holding good numbers as well.  As you can see, there are lots of fish around.     A quarter ounce jig in gold, glow white, pink, orange, chartreuse, or a combo of these colors tipped with a minnow worked well.   As a reminder, the limit of walleyes and saugers is a combined limit of six fish, up to four of the six can be walleyes.  All walleyes between 19.5 - 28.0 inches must be released.  One fish over 28.0 inches can be kept.  The possession limit in MN is one daily limit of fish. On the Rainy River...  Some nice walleyes were caught on the river this weekend, although most anglers hit the lake.  10 - 15' of water was the norm.     Sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River has been excellent.  The catch and release season continues through May 15th and then closes until the keep season starts up again July 1st. Up at the NW Angle...  Some nice walleyes were caught in 18 - 25 feet of water, a little deeper than anticipated.  Points were good as were areas with structure.  The morning and evening bite was best.       As water continues to warm, go to spots for walleyes will be neck down areas, shoreline breaks, points and bays.     The goto presentation was a jig and minnow.
