Things are looking good. Daddy seems to be getting better & stronger daily now. Dr. Chen said everything is looking "awful good", Mom told him she wasn't too sure of that combination of words.
Dr. Keeley lowered the pressure support on the CPAP and Daddy's O2 levels are staying in the mid 90's so it looks like his lungs are on the mend.
Dr. Mathews said his kidneys are doing well enough that they are taking him off the fluid meds and they are taking him off the insulin drip and he will just be getting the shots just like he does at home.
Physical Therapy came to work with Daddy around 2:00 today and had him sitting up on the side of the bed. He washed his face, combed his hair and put his socks on. What a difference compared to last Wednesday when he wouldn't even open his eyes!
Hopefully he will be in the step down unit within the next week or so.

Praise the Lord and all the prayer. What wonderful news for Roy and all of you. I did a real special different kind of prayer yesterday morning for Roy. From your news, I feel he is over the worst now and will continue to improve. Susan Van Name
