Phil did well through the night. The Motrin brought the fever down and, combined with the antibiotics, hopefully it will stay there.
The ventilator has several modes, all the way from breathing for you to assisting when needed. He stayed on CPAP mode (generally breathing on his own with forced-air support, but no supplemental oxygen) until about 10:30 and then they switched him back over so he could rest through the night. That's good progress on the weaning front.
He acknowledged Rhonda this morning, but stayed asleep for the most part. After all...it is very early and she didn't bring him coffee!
Psalm 150 1-6. Let every thing that breaths praise the Lord! Praise ye the Lord!
ReplyDeleteThat is great news on Phil's progress! Phil is lucky to have a friend like you. I know you have been a blessing to him and his family. Thank you for keeping us informed. Even though everyone would like to be there, the reality is that we can't but you bring us all together through your words. It also allows us to know what to pray for. Thanks again! Paul & Lisa
