Baby Steps Continue

Read her scriptures at 6:35am.

After Patty's adventure sitting yesterday, (about 10am) they decided to lower the oxygen concentration to 80% and see how she did.  When I went up at 1:30pm, she was still at 80% and her vitals were doing fine.  During the night they took her to 70% and then to 60%.  She held in pretty good so they took her to 50%.  Her vitals rebelled then and they took her back up to 60%.  But while I was there this morning they wanted her oxygen level, which was a little low to recoup so they took the concentration back to 70% and her vitals liked that better.  They are a little concerned about how deeply she is sleeping so the are rolling her sedative back a little.  Anyway, we are finally starting to see some movement.

Current Oxygen Saturation 70%              PEEP 14 (Also an improvement)

Please continue the prayers.

Much love,

Steve
